[00:00] marti149: is that software for making partition images? [00:00] has anybody else got the problem I have when scrolling using the touchpad - that if you start scrolling, but move your finger to the center of the touchpad and then move it up and down, it will scroll in the opposite direction? [00:00] does anyone know how to create a .torrent file? I am using BitTornado [00:00] Slart, i really don't know, but it shouldn't contain the PR28045 bug anymore. [00:00] no1 used bittornado lol [00:00] Slart, i currently have 4.0.3 [00:01] nope, its for ghosting [00:01] I hope repeating my question is not against the rules, my quit-applet does a instant logout when I click it (gnome) instead of giving me several options, does anyone have any idea how to trace the problem? [00:01] Slart, how does the kernel log look? [00:01] it multicasts [00:01] btw is there a way to select what to install when you run the installer? I must have done something wrong cause I couldn't select anything and got a lot of mumbo jumbo which I don't need... [00:02] how do you run dos applications under ubuntu?

[00:02] patogen: no get the alternate or minimal cd if you need to do that, the desktop cd installs the system just like it is on the livecd [00:03] AdemoS: nothing obvious.. more networking stuff.. have you tried just doing a cold boot? [00:03] Hi there, Im a linux newb, Ive just installed Ubuntu and I need to get my Belkin F5D8053 USB wlan adapter working, I tried using ndiswrapper using the XP driver for it, which i cant seem to get working, ive tried download the drivers from the chipset manufacturers(RaLink RT2870), and when I try to use make in the terminal, I get this: make: *** [build_tools] Error 127, can anyone help? [00:03] * cubexombi thinks his 15$ wireless adapter may have been an awesome buy!

I have 4.1.3.. wonder where I got that [00:03] what ever happened to the package xmms-flac? [00:03] soundray: i removed all compiz packeage :-) [00:03] how do I make something "truely" on top? [00:03] Someone, anyone. My mate has tried to burn 3 ISO's of ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso . Everytime he boots wit the CD it asks him for a password and username. When he enteres after 3 seconds ubuntu restarts back to the log in screen.

I am using ubuntu 7.10 and i have two Xorg processes. Sometimes the xorg session goes from tty7 to tty9 [00:04] EvaLuaTe: ouch... why are you using that? sticking with LST versions? [00:04] Bakefy, then I would double the RAM size [00:04] what could be wrong or is it all ok? [00:05] soundray: remove all compiz packeage complety and use swicth user [00:05] Bakefy: give it a gig of swap [00:05] neverblue thanks! [00:05] metacity won't start :-) [00:05] Slart, I have shut down and restarted, but what else might you be refering to? Switch the power supply on and off? [00:05] soundray :P [00:05] slipttees: well done [00:05] I've heard that there is loads of problems with running 64bit version -- should I run the 32bitm instead? [00:05] sparkeh, how far did you manage to get with ndiswrapper> [00:05] soundray: thx for all bro [00:05] ;-) [00:05] :-* [00:05] Bakefy, what version of ubuntu (32bit or 64bit) ? [00:05] anyone have xubuntu running on an IT8212 ide raid controller (either as raid or not) [00:05] AdemoS: yes.. shutting the computer down.. perhaps threaten to throw it out.. and then turn it on again [00:06] Slart, i have installed it some time ago for compatibility issues with some programs i'm running. isn't there any newer .deb package of gcc available that i could download and install ? [00:06] Slart, haha okay I'll try that, assuming I still have the issue though, do I have any other options other then reinstalling 7.10? [00:06] well, in truth, I dont really know how to use it, but I'll PM you with what I typed in the terminal ok? [00:06] patogen: yes.. even though the 64-bit version isn't that bad, 32 bit is easier to deal with [00:06] Hi Guys i need some help applying a patch so that my esata controller card will support PM [00:06] k [00:06] soundray: test with you! remove complety all compiz packeage and use swicth user! [00:06] ;-) [00:07] Slart: Any idea on why my friend cant run the ubuntu-64bit 7.10 live cd? ... it keeps asking for a password and timing out after 3 seconds [00:07] EvaLuaTe: I think you'd have to upgrade your whole system if you tried that.. dependencies are nasty that way [00:07] hi [00:07] metacity no start! [00:07] :P [00:07] install compiz and work again :D [00:07] Slart: Ah, I guess I will use that one instead ... I've used debian and stuff before but I don't want more trouble than necessary :P [00:07] i need a /boot partiton [00:07] how big should that be? [00:07] AdemoS: I don't really know.. it's hard to tell when you don't know *why* you end up in recovery mode [00:07] anyone knows of a *lightweight* rss feed reader, something done in gtk1.x or similar [00:07] bye everybody! [00:08] Bakefy: why do you need a /boot partition? [00:08] like sylpheed but for feeds ;) [00:08] Hello I am having trouble installing adobe 9 flash [00:08] how do you get xmms to play .flac? There used to be a package called xmms-flac that made it work [00:08] FlintPearce: I have no idea.. never had a live cd do that to me [00:08] geeze this is annoying... is there some reason that also would work, but not oss? & any reason why or how 1 program could take over alsa & not let anything else play from it? [00:08] back, got disconnected :( [00:08] soundray, the first time I did it, I got the grub error 18 [00:08] what's the url to post text to that will all others to review it? [00:08] soundray, I was told that my Bios didnt know what to do.

[00:09] sparkeh, = sparkeh99? still here [00:09] Slart, any other way to get rid of that bug in gcc ? [00:09] yeah shoeunited [00:09] Bakefy: that's plausible. /boot can be tiny, unless you're trying multiple kernels. 128 MB should be plenty [00:09] shoeunited: yes [00:09] yeah [00:09] Slart, well originally, I never see the Ubuntu loading animation. Even when regular mode booted, I never saw the animation. I assumed it was because of my quad core, 8 GB RAM system, going so fast that the animation didn't have time to show, but I think that might be part of it...since instead of seeing an animation I see black. So when the system won't boot, I don't get much feedback on regular mode....only black. [00:09] got disconnected [00:09] Ah, good thank you. [00:10] its me yeah [00:10] evening all. [00:10] Then maybe I can get a shot in the dark on this one, and I know I'm not the only one plagued by it.

[00:11] Slart, what is boot splash? Is it the loading animation?

[00:12] Slart, how would I disable it? [00:12] AdemoS: you can disable it by changing a line in the grub menu.lst [00:12] hmm [00:12] Slart: Trolls? Well I told him to go download 32bit just in case .. [00:12] david_ and how are we to know?

[00:16] soundray, my partitioner keeps sticking at 33%. this is the second time. [00:16] AdemoS do you mean safe mode from grub or recovery from the live CD?

Create a third menu entry for experimenting...just copy the regular boot lines and change the name a little. Then take out the options one at a time until you find what is causing the problem. [00:18] I have a dual boot running XP, and a separate partition for "Storage". [00:18] tanalark, when did you 'set it aside' ? [00:18] AdemoS: you're welcome [00:18] th0r: Hmmm, that sounds like a nice plan b. (though tedious) After I try Slarts idea, I'll move to that. [00:18] it just wants to install onto the Storage partition (sda 5) instead of the partitions i want it to go to.. [00:18] Oh you mean the flash downloadable through Synaptic package manager? [00:18] sparkeh99 hmm... you may still need to modify that interface file "gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces" and add a few lines [00:18] morning everyone :D [00:18] does anyone here have any SUCCESSFUL experience running solaris along w/ ubuntu?

I tihnk maybe I'm using that utility incorrectly, but I don't know how to work with it. [00:19] twavisdegwet, so the nvidia driver is being used, now there are nvidia tools u can use to setup the duals, 'aptitude search nvidia' <-- use that command to install them [00:19] solaris grub wont properly load ubuntu [00:19] D: [00:19] I'm running update manager. It tells me I have 149 updates (221.3 MB). I pressed install updates, and I've been waiting for a few hours now.. is there any progress bar or anything to see whats going on?

[00:59] yahoo354: That should have uninstalled the entire meta-package... [00:59] Jack_Sparrow: what should i do to make it work [00:59] yahoo354: One sec.. [01:00] **tries again** Trying to install Ubuntu dual boot with Vista... I have the installation program open from the liveCD... but the migration assistant isn't finding Vista... any thoughts on what I should do? [01:00] queuetue: kernel boot option, F6 at isolinux boot screen [01:00] Okay, in mplayer, the playback is smooth, but the colors are still messed up [01:01] scguy318, Just add it at then end of the boot line? [01:01] Hammer89: Ubiquity may not support Vista migration, not totally sure on that, but you'll still be able to dual-boot if you've selected the right options [01:01] queuetue: yeah [01:01] Everything is tinted blue it seems [01:01] Before the --, I assume. [01:02] queuetue: sure [01:02] scguy318: I'm pretty certain I've read that it should show up... [01:02] yahoo354: Were you in the gnome desktop when you uninstalled kubuntu-desktop?

[01:03] th0r: Thanks for your help guys [01:03] scguy318, If this works, will I need to add all_generic_ide to all boot stanzas after the install, or is it install-specific? [01:03] yahoo354 have you logged out and back in after removing the package? and when you logged back in, did you change the Session to 'gnome'? [01:04] Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks do you think if i installed and uninstalled again it work? [01:04] does anyone here use Create Torrent? [01:04] queuetue: probably just for the LiveCD [01:04] th0r: yes i have also reset the system 10 times [01:04] So Adobe Flash 9 is broken correct? And I need to wait for Hardy Heron until its fixed? [01:05] th0r: and also all the time change the session to gnome but still have most of kubuntu application in gnome [01:05] FlintPearce: Last I heard, it wasn't until Hardy...but, until it was fixed. [01:05] FlintPearce: No, you need to wait until the devs figure out how to fix it. [01:05] Does anyone here know how to create a .torrent? creatorrent isn't installing for me [01:05] IndyGunFreak: nice sites, but stuff not found. thanks anyway. [01:05] FlintPearce: Its not just a simple md5 hash update, the contents of the package were changed in a way that made it non-installable properly. [01:05] Ah right thanks. It's a annoying problem seeing as I have to keep going back to Vista to watch youtube video's and such. [01:06] !brokenflash | FlintPearce [01:06] FlintPearce: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.

[01:06] UltraNav: what exactly are you looking for? [01:06] Does anyone here know how to create a .torrent? creatorrent isn't installing for me [01:06] Now, it results in a screen with scrambled graphics, and appears to be locked up. Is there a textmode install available? [01:06] scguy318: Thanks [01:06] th0r: any idea ? [01:07] queuetue: There is an alternate install CD... [01:07] So in terms of NetworkManager applet, is there anyway to lock it on one wifi hotspot? Because it keeps jumping to a bad spot [01:07] PurpZeY, Thanks. [01:07] UltraNav: which debian wallpaper do you want? I might have it. [01:07] queuetue: yes, the alternate install CD or a net boot [01:07] I tried using manual instead of roaming, but it won't connect then [01:07] yahoo354 not really. I agree with Jack that removing the meta package should have removed all the kde stuff [01:07] queuetue: see !install [01:07] AdemoS: Turn off "roaming" and use manual [01:07] oh [01:07] e [01:07] oops, wrong channel [01:07] yahoo354 I would go into synaptic and remove all the kde packages that are marked installed [01:07] th0r: ok thanks [01:07] PurpZeY, WiCD works fine, but it's non-standard and if I upgrade, could cause issues [01:08] queuetue: with the Live CD you could also test safe graphics if you haven't already with that boot option [01:08] Whoops, gave up too soon - gnome just came up while I was searching for alternate CD. :) [01:08] th0r: just type kde in synoptic ? [01:08] yahoo354 just a sec [01:08] queuetue: lol, i prefer the alt. install CD, seems to go faster to me. [01:08] Well, brown screen came up anyway - this seems t e going very slow. [01:08] is there an issue with checkgmail? [01:08] AdemoS: That's the only way I know how to do it. [01:08] IndyGunFreak, I prefer textmode installs, as well. But I'm sure it scares 'switchers' :) [01:09] queuetue: probably [01:09] hey does anyone know if it's possible to install WoW on linux?

The people look like smurfs... I can't watch movies like this >.< [01:09] is wine easy to use though? [01:09] yahoo354 on the left side of synaptic is a window where you can choose thekde desktop, then view what is instlaled on the right side [01:09] so... the error 2 was corrected. [01:09] still having problems with the whole install over PCLOS thing though [01:09] I want to set the hotkey for show the desktop to be Super+D (Win+D), but when i hit the super key in the keyboard shorcuts preference dialog, I get "Super L" and no other key I press.

[01:11] ok, thanks th0r [01:11] I correctly forewarded my port for azureus, and sometimes the NAT is fine, but now it says that I am firewalled and my port cannot be reached. Why does this happen? [01:11] yahoo354 yes...if you want to get rid of kde completely uninstall anything that is still marked installed [01:11] hi, which is the better way to install thunderbird? from the source or download a deb? [01:11] probably the latter [01:11] th0r: thanks a lot let me do it and i tell you the result [01:11] threefcata: neither, install it frmo the repositories [01:11] or that :) [01:11] Nevermind.

[01:12] PurpZeY: Samba does the job too, but NFS is preferred in native *nix environment [01:13] threefcata: is there some feature you must have thats not in the version in the repos? [01:13] threefcata: just sudo apt-get install thunderbird, and it should install just fine. [01:13] PurpZeY I found samba my best bet [01:13] I have a Reclusa keyboard.

[01:15] PurpZeY ah...ok...I knew I saw an ntfs in there somewhere [01:15] This is super weird [01:16] IndyGunFreak, i got this after run the command Package thunderbird is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[01:22] IndyGunFreak, it came out to 0 kb with every other program, so I thought that maybe it has something to do with options or the program I am using.. [01:22] 7.10 is stable, right?

(I'm on a dual boot XP macine with an XP partition, a linux partition, and a storage partition.) http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51291/ When I try to specify the partition for the root file, it says no root file system is defined. When I try to [01:27] th0r: Hehe No idea, just thought logical to get the 64-bit for the quad. :D [01:27] is it ok to continue with the install? [01:28] FlintPearce: there are ways to get Flash working with nspluginwrapper, don't remember linky though [01:28] how can i view the currently installed version of a program ? (gcc for example) [01:28] FlintPearce well...there are other issues when running 64 bit so I thought i would give the smoke a chance to clear [01:28] is there a list of the apps installed with ubuntu? [01:28] I got gdesklets installed but when I launch it I get just a black box and have to force wuit how do I fix that or wut is the problem [01:28] (sda1 is XP and sda5 is my storage partition) [01:28] Tanalark, I had some trouble with partitions earlier, make sure that all the drives are unmounted, then try install again? [01:28] any ideas? [01:28] make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/lirc/drivers/lirc_pvr150' [01:28] th0r: Can you tell me any (I am now scared :|) [01:28] Makefile:185: *** missing separator. [01:28] EvaLuaTe usually with the '--version' as in 'gcc --version' [01:28] sparkeh99: how do I do that? [01:28] scguy318, i had problems with it... flash would never work properly [01:28] Tanalark: the alternate cd is your friend [01:29] th0r, ok, thank you sir [01:29] hey guys i have a zboard any ideas on how to set my wow keyset up to work with wine? [01:29] are you using the ubuntu live CD, where you click install on the desktop? [01:29] squarebracket: yeah, there are issues [01:29] evil_tech: what is the alternate cd, why do I need it, and how do I use it? [01:29] right click whatever drives are on the desktop and select unmount [01:29] !alternate | Tanalark [01:29] Tanalark: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal [01:29] th0r: thanks a lot it work [01:29] FlintPearce not really....just heard enough comments that when I installed I chose the 32 bit version....if you wait til I catch up I might be able to answer better [01:29] Tanalark: there ya go. you don't necessarily need it. i'm just being wierd [01:29] yahoo354 glad to hear it... [01:29] !Minimal [01:29] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [01:29] Tanalark: and you don't run into as many problems during install with the alternate [01:30] heh.. evil_tech, I am a total n00b on *nix, so I think I'd be absolutely lost trying to install it by text [01:30] its fairly easy and straight forward [01:30] th0r: just a question because it work and delect every kde staf but some of the icon are still in app which the do not work but they icon are there is there any way to destroy them as weel [01:30] well [01:30] hi [01:30] im a n00b too and ive been fine [01:30] th0r: Hehe, well I havn't encountered any problems? only thing is when i run Compiz fusion and use the benchemark applet it brings the fps from 220 to like 10 [01:30] PurpZeY, did you get it working? [01:31] Tanalark, It's still a GUI installer, just a text-based one, instead of a graphical one. [01:31] i'm using bell canada's adsl and it doesn't want to connect in ubuntu :( [01:31] one of the things i like the best about this distro is that it runs all of my hardware straight out of the box. Will that change with the alternate CD? [01:31] FlintPearce: glxgears? its a horrible benchmark [01:31] Tanalark: no, since it uses same packages [01:31] I installed a mouse theme but it only works in Firefox (even after restarting my computer). [01:31] it asks me for the passphrase, i enter it but nothing happens. it asks me again and again [01:31] yahoo354 yes...I know how to find the .desktop files and move or delete them...but it isn't easy as they are spread all over the place. menus in gnome and kde are a disaster...that is one reason I use xfce [01:31] is anyone any good with getting USB wlan adapters working? trying to use ndiswrapper, but its not going so well [01:31] hello everybody... i have bought a no-name USB video grabber, and want to run it with ubuntu. usual (?) software would be e.g. Kino but they seem to want to read from firewire input instead of usb.. any idea how to get video raw data from usb ports? [01:31] ok... next question... why would that be better for me to use, when i'm having a problem with the partitions? [01:31] What IRC client do people reccomend?

[01:32] scguy318: Not sure the one which comes with compiz fusion .. displaying the fps in a big green box [01:32] sarkeh99-lol i hade same problem yesterday, you arent using Linksys WUSB54G are you? [01:32] th0r: btw what is xface is it better than that gnome and...? [01:32] FlintPearce: ah [01:32] squarebracket: I am working on it....Almost there...

[01:33] ok.. that makes sense. [01:33] couldn't I just unmount the drives I want to use? [01:33] joeamined: do you normally do something with PPPoE? [01:33] scguy318: thanks [01:33] ubotu: thanks [01:33] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [01:33] scguy318: this is so annoying anytime a new window appears for some reason the top part of it is off screen [01:33] tanalark: yes you can [01:33] like i said i was just being silly [01:33] FlintPearce: low resolution? [01:33] What all do people do on ubuntu? because i cant seem to get any games working on ubuntu.... [01:34] ah. :) fair enough... so.. how do i unmount the drives? [01:34] syguy, it is encrypted in wep128 it asks me for the passphrase [01:34] yahoo354 xfce is lighter than gnome or kde...it will take less disk space, less memory, and run faster. But it isn't as 'fancy'. But I am a control freak and it allows me total control (like the menus) [01:34] scguy318: Nope, Its never happened to me only in this session. [01:34] Superbike32: plenty of native games, !wine might help you out with Windows games [01:34] wine dont help [01:34] FlintPearce: your window decorator died? [01:34] where do i find any natice games [01:34] tanalark: right click on any drive icons on the desktop and select unmount [01:34] yahoo354 you can install xfce and not lose gnome...install all the xfce packages and install thunar. Then log out and when you log in again choose xfce from the Sessions menu [01:34] where can i found out what apps come with an ubuntu installation? [01:34] Superbike32: look in the repos [01:34] scguy318: Maybe, how could i check it (im a real newbie to this) [01:34] SuperBike32 - why is wine no help? [01:35] there are no drive icons on the desktop... i'm in live session mode. [01:35] none of them working with wine [01:35] FlintPearce: oh, metacity --replace? [01:35] CrAzY-181 because it is only 18 proof? [01:35] FlintPearce: that'll replace Compiz, but probably will get your decoration back [01:35] Superbike32: would help if you pastebined the terminal messages and/or asked in #winehq [01:35] Tibia, Continuum, Byond [01:35] th0r: thanks again you saved me and bye [01:35] Superbike32:what are u attempting to run? [01:35] those 3 dont work with it [01:35] (I'm only using one HDD) and it's just partitioned.

[01:38] hi. im not coming off a new install or upgrade or anything, i dont remember what i did. but the last time i restarted my computer it wouldnt boot up properly. it goes past the grub then instead of getting my login screen i get a terminal-like screen and it says "BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)" then it drops down and instead of my username it says "(initramfs)" in a terminal style prompt. i have limited commands [01:38] while in this, but i can tell that i am on my main partition because im able to cd through folders. i looked around the internet and the most common responce was to remove "quiet splash" and add "all_generic_ide" to the thing in the grub (pressing escape then e for edit and b to boot it up) but that didnt work for me. a few sites i looked at also suggested just messing with "noacpi, nodma, noapic, and nolapic" i tried each one of those, with [01:38] and without the "quiet splash" there and none of it worked. What is this problem, and how can i fix it?

[01:59] but ill try to reinstall [01:59] I have 4 workspaces [01:59] squarebracket: I don't see anything like that, they are located on the desktop, if I mount them /home/brian/desktop/namehere via nfs that should work in theory?

[02:21] su [02:21] Superbike32: sudo [command] [02:21] Superbike32: or sudo -i [02:21] Superbike32, su [02:21] andyes bakefy no issues with speed [02:22] squarebracket: For some reason I can't mount it, or remount it properly...I think if I can mount /home/brian then the desktop issue should resolve itself easily....now I'd just like it to mount itself to /home/brian/NewShare/ [02:22] Superbike: it is su, but su is disabled by default on ubuntu [02:22] hey i'm getting this error when i try to connect to my computer using ssh: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51295/ [02:22] yea [02:22] Superbike32: You need to do a little trick to login as root on Ubuntu [02:22] thats not the command that i need [02:22] Superbike32:http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-31053.html [02:22] PurpZeY, you can move mounts using mount --move olddir newdir [02:22] i need to do some sudo command to allow access [02:22] to stuff [02:22] Superbike32: this link will explain [02:22] i dont need actual root [02:22] aszwet1: do you trust what your connecting to? [02:23] but it asks if im root [02:23] aszwet1: if so [02:23] i need the command for it to do things [02:23] squarebracket: It should show up in "mount" right? [02:23] its like sudo .... [02:23] the latest version of ubuntu is using what kernel.. [02:23] wj32 yeah it's a local connection [02:23] 2.6.22 [02:23] aszwet1: open up /home/alex/.ssh/known_hosts [02:23] thank you [02:23] on the server or the client/ [02:23] try uname -a [02:23] Superbike32: I'm not sure what you mean -- can you explain further? [02:23] aszwet1: client [02:23] is anyone familiar with /etc/environment ? [02:23] bakefy isn't webmin a mail server or some crud ? [02:23] it asks in the command line [02:23] Superbike32: You want to login as root, right, so you can issue multiple commands sequentialy [02:23] if im root [02:24] i put something there [02:24] Superbike32: What command are you giving? [02:24] aszwet1: and how many lines do you see? [02:24] then it will allow some access [02:24] 2 [02:24] to root [02:24] wj32 2 [02:24] whats the command [02:24] aszwet1: uh what two lines [02:24] PurpZeY, what do you mean? [02:24] Superbike32: If you want to login as root, do the following: [02:24] but they just look like jibberish wj32' [02:24] Superbike32: sudo bash [02:24] squarebracket: When I run the command 'mount' the share should show up, shouldn't it? [02:24] Superbike32: sudo -s [02:24] aszwet1: how about you rename the file to known_hosts.old [02:24] does anyone have any experiance with BusyBox? [02:24] aszwet1: and then try again [02:24] Superbike32: However, remember that login as root is NOT recommended [02:25] oh! ya, i would think so. [02:25] then why did u... [02:25] is it not? [02:25] i wish unix had a ACL system with finer control like windows... [02:25] squarebracket: I don't see it...at least, unless I am missing something that isn't that obvious [02:25] thanx wj32 :) [02:25] oh [02:25] your welcome [02:25] i dont need to login as root [02:25] Superbike32: can you explain exactly what you are trying to do that gives a command asking you to be root? [02:26] ye [02:26] i just need to give it access to write files [02:26] Superbike32: OK. You want to use the chmod command [02:26] Superbike32: I think [02:26] Superbike32: give what access [02:26] nope [02:26] Superbike32: give what access [02:26] LjL: Are you familiar with the ubuntu /etc/environment file ? [02:26] let the command write files [02:26] superbike32: which command [02:26] Superbike32: give a user access or give a program [02:26] any commands [02:26] Superbike32: then use sudo [command] [02:26] hipitihop: not really, i have to admit [02:26] PurpZeY, hmm... [02:26] i use sudo, and some command [02:26] then it asks for pass [02:27] and then i go on about it [02:27] Superbike32: yes... [02:27] PurpZeY, when you're doing the mount command, still getting a blinking cursor? [02:27] Can anyone suggest a good remote backup software for ubuntu? [02:27] aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential [02:27] that command needs some kind of access [02:27] to write files [02:28] Superbike32: OK, so you've typed in "sudo aptitude install [blah]", right? [02:28] Superbike32: then go sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential [02:28] jake2235: try rsync-backup [02:28] !rsync-backup [02:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync-backup - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:28] wj32: thanks a lot [02:28] squarebracket: Yes.

[02:29] jake2235: except i only use it for local backup [02:29] jake2235: but im pretty sure it can backup remotely it said it somewhere... [02:29] wj32: no equivalent of Mozy, for instance? [02:29] wj32: Mozy, the online windows repo ? [02:29] jake2235: uh... probably not [02:29] jake2235: oh [02:29] jake2235: that kind of remote backup [02:30] superbike32: did that resolve your problem? [02:30] jake2235: wait [02:30] yes [02:30] squarebracket: I can pastebin my 'export' b/c I think that might be the issue [02:30] wj32: thanks, I can just backup to a friendly remote server then with rsync [02:30] PurpZeY, that might help [02:30] wj32: now if only I can figure out how to encrypt it on the fly....

[02:36] thank you [02:36] PurpZeY, yes. did you mount your two disks as /New Volume and /DISK1_VOL1 ? [02:36] believe me i would much prefer to use amarok for syncing touch, but the speed is killing me [02:37] WorkingOnWise: I need more context to that statement to properly identify what its saying. [02:37] PurpZeY, I.E. on the command line, or did you just double click them on the desktop to use them? [02:37] How do i go about using the extra keys on my keyboard?

I"m running 7.10, and whenever i load up firefox, no other programs, folders, or files can be opened, even after i exit firefox. anybody have ANY clue why? [02:38] squarebracket: Either way, I can't mount the NFS server at all at this point....so that seems like, putting the cart before the horse. [02:38] hey all, I need to know something. Is there an *easy* way of converting an ext3 file system to ntfs without losing data? [02:38] is that even possible? [02:38] how do I delete a file or folder with *.po extensions [02:38] Arrick i really do not think that's possible [02:38] hello. I'm trying to get an idea of how my harddisk is partitioned, using gparted, but after launching it it goes 'Scanning all devices..." but never finishes, I've waited for over 10 minutes. [02:39] I've launched it from a terminal to look for any errors, but got nothing [02:39] bog try fdisk [02:39] anyone know what to do to get it to work? [02:39] hrm [02:39] akorn: its possible, someone in this channel walked me through it the last time [02:39] How do i go about using the extra keys on my keyboard (e.g. volume control knob) [02:39] Arrick oh haha i have no clue then, sorry [02:40] should I report a bug for this though? I'd like to use gparted at some point (though I will learn to use fdisk for now) [02:40] PurpZeY, it might be screwing up the server, though. on your desktop, try sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart [02:40] darkkith doesnt fdisk format? [02:40] akorn: fdisk -l will list your partitions [02:40] fdisk can format, if you tell it to. [02:40] oh [02:40] haha [02:40] do any of you run icecast2 ? [02:40] not format, rather, it can repartition. [02:40] hmm [02:41] hello i have a question [02:41] squarebracket: Ok. did that, did the export look right? [02:41] sam__: ask away :) [02:41] I just kinda like the overview of disks, plus human readable sizes I get in gparted [02:41] and total disksize [02:41] fdisk doesn't seem to give this [02:41] do any of you run icecast2 ? if so, how do you run icecast2 ? [02:41] haha [02:41] boghog: if fdisk lists the parts without error then maybe a bug report is necessary [02:41] Hi everyone...need some help here. I"m running 7.10, and whenever i load up firefox, no other programs, folders, or files can be opened, even after i exit firefox. anybody have ANY clue why? [02:41] PurpZeY, well as i said, it depends on if those are the actual mounted directories or not. try going places-->computer-->file system and seeing if there's a New Volume folder [02:41] darkkith, yeah fdisk seems to list them without error [02:42] Pici: i have seen several apps that say they work for of with "x applications". Specifically, at the moment, I am looking at Xvoice, which says " Xvoice enables continuous speech dictation and speech control of most X applications."

[02:42] i am running gutsy and for a while now, sometimes [several times a day] when i open a window and close it, it leaves like a shadowed outline on top of everything and if i go into compiz settings and change something and change it back, it goes away. any ideas? [02:42] squarebracket: Same spot as "file system" e.g. it's mounted. I believe. [02:42] darkkith, looks like it is a known problem, I got a ton of google hits :S [02:43] boghog here i thought most people hit google before irc :) [02:43] WorkingOnWise: Then yes, it should work with gnome. Sounds like this particular program emulates an input device (like a keyboard) that *should* work with any desktop environment under X.

[02:45] i had that problem one time to its ok [02:45] i am running gutsy and for a while now, sometimes [several times a day] when i open a window and close it, it leaves like a shadowed outline on top of everything and if i go into compiz settings and change something and change it back, it goes away. any ideas?

I cannot use nvidia-xconfig as this driver tree doesn't have it. While I get the Nvidia splashscreen, glxinfo reports no 3D accel. The driver uneventfully modprobed. If I need to RTFM or STFW, a link or hint would be helpful. [02:56] PurpZeY, try simply sudo mount 192.169.1.3:/home/ /home/brian/NewShare [02:56] VistaSP1: Often, if one package is required for another it will install itself...And also, if synaptic is overwhelming Add/Remove is a place to start [02:56] brucewagne1: it might be better to google flash + ubuntu and reading some manuals other than just going to synaptic and searching randomly [02:56] how do you add sendMail support to ubuntu?

[02:59] So you're saying that, if I want to install Skype or RAR or Flash Player or whatever... It's best to Google Ubuntu + one of those things, and get the package name first.... Then, go in to Synaptic Package Manager to install it? [02:59] brucewagne1: You don't need to use google, synaptic has a search built in [02:59] Tramp: and then what URL? [03:00] Cpudan80, whatever floats your boat buddy, sendmail is junk :) Package: sendmail Version: 8.14.1-8ubuntu1 [03:00] PurpZeY, after you hit enter, is it a blank line with a blinking cursor, or does it give you the brian@brian-laptop:~$ prompt? [03:00] I'm afraid I cannot help you, as I don't have a copy of that program installed. Is mencoder all set up, .etc? I'm not really sure. [03:00] jpiccolo: http://localhost/server-info [03:00] squarebracket: And nothing appears in mount. . .blank line blinking cursor [03:00] Tramp: 404 [03:00] Flannel: But when I search within Synaptic, for Skype, nothing comes up. For RAR lots of things come up. How will I know which one to install...? [03:00] OK [03:00] now that thats done [03:00] I think the easiest way to find programs is on a console- apt-cache search "progname" [03:00] how do i start using the vmware [03:00] brucewagne1: You have to know what package you are looking for, at least to some extent. [03:01] menu -> system tools -> vmware [03:01] or type 'vmware' [03:01] huh? [03:01] radiounix: , i got 3 different programs installed, all suggested from here the only one that seems to convert avi to DVD is devede, and it freezes at 2%, then again at 6% [03:01] PurpZeY, hmm.... and even after a while, no error message shows up? it sounds like the request isn't getting through, but i got a timed out error in the same situation... [03:01] i got it now [03:01] jpiccolo: you restarted/reloaded apache after running a2enmod? [03:01] Brucewange, files that are associated/dependent will be select as well [03:01] Superbike32 don't you think it would be faster to just ... [03:01] try [03:01] ? [03:01] Brucewange1, files that are associated/dependent will be select as well [03:02] i dunno what im doing [03:02] Tramp: yes [03:02] PurpZeY, when you type mount.nfs, do you get a command not found error? [03:02] click randomly with your mouse .. [03:02] its no worse off then windows. [03:02] i installed linux today, maybe early yesterday [03:02] squarebracket: Yes. [03:02] PurpZeY: yes, but how to i know which package to install for Skype, for example. or for RAR, for example...? === Arrick is now known as Techi [03:02] Is there any way to get my Canon Imageclass D320 printer working in Ububtu? It seems that there are not drivers for this unit on linux. Thoughts? [03:02] brucewagne1: You can always ask here. [03:02] Sorry, Roxanne, I suggest you go elsewhere as I've only used the program maybe five times. Tried checking launchpad and the DeveDe site for outstanding bugs? There used to be a horrific one with audio and Ubuntu's version of mencoder. [03:02] brucewagne1: There are descriptions in synaptic too, you just have to read a bit and get familiar. Or google. Skype isn't FOSS, so it only exists in a third party repository. Another good place to check "first" (or second, I guess) is the ubuntu wiki : http://help.ubuntu.com/community/ which will have instructions for skype and WoW and lots of other things too. [03:03] PurpZeY, ah! that would be why. you're missing the proper stuff on your laptop [03:03] Tramp: the url is http://stuntcock.kicks-ass.org [03:03] jpiccolo: does "grep info /var/log/apache2/error.log" return anything? [03:03] hi, I'm trying to apt-get build-essentials and it keeps asking for a cd. Is there a way to force apt to use a repository? [03:03] sudo mount-get install nfs-common i think [03:03] !nfs [03:03] err [03:03] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [03:03] apt-get [03:03] how do i unmount from command line?i just got my sansa replaced *again* and i dont want to have anymore unmount errors as they seem to corrupt the internal memeory. i allready did 'lsof /media/Sansa\ e260' and nothng comes up, i also tried 'sudo unmount' but it didnt work either [03:03] bgt421 disable the cd source via synaptic [03:03] brucewange1, there is a description nest to the files [03:03] or uncomment it from /etc/apt/sources.list [03:03] can anyone help me installing ubuntu? [03:03] brucewange1, files that are associated/dependent will be select as well [03:03] darkkith: Thanks!

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:12] sudo passwd [03:13] jpiccolo: Yes [03:13] !noroot | darkkith [03:13] darkkith: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [03:13] Um, I'm not sure, frankly, as I'm kinda tired.

[03:14] You can change it in any mode, biggie. You just cannot be running xwindows (and [probably GDM/KDM). Try looking at /etc/X11/xorg.conf in your favored text editor.

[03:15] how do i handle it? [03:15] radiounix - the problem is i can't get that far. I installed ubuntu with a 21 monitor and 1280x1024 resolution and now i have it hooked up to a 17 inch monitor that won't do that resolution [03:16] so when i boot the monitor turns off cause it can't do that resolution [03:16] I'm looking for a datasource for new arrivals to updates, so that I can then construct a list of "desired" updates to install -- similar to RHN. [03:16] <|PowerMX|> hello!, anybody knows what is this for ?: Scrollkeeper-up [03:16] hmn, how long did you wait to see if it booted to desktop [03:16] biggie, when the monitor blanks hit CTL-ALT-F1 [03:16] PurpZeY, when you type exportfs -ra on the desktop, does it give an error? [03:16] i cant start VMWare [03:16] I'd rather not simply parse the output of ``apt-get upgrade''... [03:16] login as yourself on the console [03:16] ...any ideas? [03:16] i click it, and it never comes up [03:17] Yes. teh recovery mode of any Live Linux CD will let you get into your linux system and reconfigure your xserver for a lower resolution. I have a 15," so I know your pain. [03:17] so i tried to do sudu dpkg reconfigure etc... from recovery mode and xserver-org is not loaded so i won't let me change anythiong [03:17] alephant: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -s dist-upgrade | less [03:17] |PowerMX|: that's scrollkeeper-update, it creates gnome/ubuntu documents [03:17] anyone can help me? the "start" icon of gnome crash/freeze for a few seconds in the first time that i click [03:17] biggahed then sudo vim (or nano( /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:17] Hm, having some issues with Compiz on my Thinkpad R61i.. Checked ThinkWiki but the advice for fixing it does not work.. [03:17] alephant: Update manager will do it for you as well [03:17] Flannel: perhaps I was a bit unclear. [03:17] DIL: several minutes, but it just stops working, no activity at all, no feedback, no error messages on the screen?! [03:17] <|PowerMX|> it's consuming 98% of CPU Usage [03:17] (Attaching SKIP_CHECKS in /etc/compizconfig/config) [03:17] alephant: No, you just took two statements to say it [03:18] Superbike32: try vmware in a terminal, you should get some error messages. You should ask for help with that info on #vmware [03:18] Running the command manualy works fine, so.. what am I doing wrong? [03:18] Superbike32 try starting vmware from a terminal to see if there are errors [03:18] Have you mounted your Linux partition, biggie? Ask someone else to help you here. I'm signing off as I'm way to tired tonight to really be more than a hindrance. [03:18] sorry [03:18] I'm creating a local mirror of Gutsy, so that I can always install a system to a known base of packages. [03:18] that's cool radiounix thanks [03:18] When updates to package FOO come in, I don't want to blindly apply them without validating first that they work without breaking any of our apps. [03:19] biggie did you try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf directly? [03:19] hmn, when you booted did you at least get menu start or install ubuntu [03:19] squarebracket: "could not open /var/lib/nfs/etab for locking" "can't lock /var/lib/nfs/etab for writing" [03:19] But once they are validated & I decide that they should be applied, then they should be applied to all systems. [03:19] So it seems to me, that the simplest way to achieve this is to selective mirror only the updates that I decide I want. [03:19] alephant: and debmirror would be a good tool for maintaining that pool [03:19] err, sudo exportfs -ra [03:20] darkith - not sure how to do that at boot up === Pravee1 is now known as Praveen [03:20] DIL:yes and i choosed to use pnpacpi=off pecause without it or when i leave splash or quiet boot options enabled i always end up with an error message about my network card. [03:20] The missing piece is a well-formatted list of updates -- which can be parsed for a frontend to select which ones I want, and parsed to create an --include list for debmirror. [03:20] biggie, let it boot, when it goes blank hit CTL-ALT-F1 [03:20] to restart samba, is it smb or samba that's in /etc/init.d? I'm trying to help someone but don't have samba on my box [03:20] biggie it should drop you to a console [03:20] squarebracket: No output [03:21] i did sudo nano and am in it now trying to edit file [03:21] * nickrud waves at alephant says 'you're way ahead of me' [03:21] How do I get my sound to work in old games? [03:21] look for section that has 1280x1024 in it [03:21] DIL: when activity stops i seem to be in the initrd console ?! [03:21] Dr_willis, you here?

[03:22] question: how do you install Doom 3 in Ubuntu 7.10 [03:22] So anybody understand the package maintainers (MoTU?) well enough to comment on how updates are pushed out? Best case is that there's an RSS feed, or an automated listserv fed by the release process, which tells me not only WHAT was updated, but WHY. [03:23] xm4n, I think you might be thinking of Open Arena [03:23] well, I have open arena already [03:23] squarebracket: Was that command supposed to return an error? or was I supposed to run that and then try to connect again [03:23] I would like to input DOOM 3 [03:23] !wine [03:23] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [03:23] DIL: any idea how to tell the installer to continue, since i dont know what i should do in this console? i want to boot gnome and doubleclick on install?! [03:23] alephant: well, you can get release notes easily enough. But you might have more luck asking in #ubuntu-motu [03:23] Oohhh.. DOOM 3, not Quake 3. I see. [03:23] Use Wine. [03:23] Flannel: I'll check that out, thanks. [03:23] PurpZeY, no, it would display no output if there were no errors -- so nothing is a good thing, in this case [03:23] Does WINE have capability to play DOOM 3? [03:23] yeah!\ [03:23] PurpZeY, try re-installing nfs-common on the laptop [03:24] xm4n, yea! [03:24] PurpZeY, and then see if mount.nfs returns a "command not found" error [03:24] squarebracket: re-installing as in apt-get remove apt-get install? [03:24] xm4n, wine is designed to play many different windows based games. [03:24] PurpZeY, i'd say just do it through synaptic [03:24] crdlb: I can't find the reference to the wiki page you were talking about with slyboots , was it an ubuntu one? [03:24] squarebracket: But, I mean, that's the idea [03:24] PurpZeY, ya [03:24] ok I'll try that. I just have to install software from repository [03:24] xm4n, if you can't get it workin, search on the internet (google) and you will probably find some results. [03:24] nickrud: no, I found it just now through googling [03:24] hmn, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#head-ca8e337bdfab6bfa1d064371898775fe1e9e22fd [03:24] ok [03:24] crdlb: ok, then I won't worry about it [03:25] hi all [03:25] So [03:25] nickrud: sounded like he was talking about thinkwiki (the thinkpad linux wiki) [03:25] yup [03:25] is there a script editor in xchat like there is in mirc? [03:25] When I try to install missing plugins in firefox, it can't seem to find any of them [03:26] ShortWave, you might need to restart firefox if it seemed like they installed but didn't actually change anything [03:26] Does Ubuntu detects automatically a USB Hard drive ? [03:26] WooD, usually, yes [03:26] DIL: THX a lot that seems to be very interessting... il try those!! [03:26] no, it says "cannot find gcjwebplugin" [03:26] is it possible to send the output of espeak to my microphone? [03:26] then it PRETENDS it installed it [03:26] ShortWave: many of the plugins written for for firefox require windows, about the only ones you can use on linux are java, flash and movie players [03:26] I restart firefox, and it's not to be found [03:27] ShortWave, just install java via add/remove applications, and restart firefox; should work [03:27] i must be doomed to run windows on a real computer utnil i obtain a replacement for my ipod touch [03:27] or maybe buy a mac [03:27] cwillu: I installed java by installing the jre 1.6 runtime in /opt/ just for kicks, that didn't even towkr. [03:27] err [03:27] work [03:27] nickrud: well aware of that, thanks [03:27] ShortWave, flash is another matter, as there's been an update on adobe's part, and so the 'package' in ubuntu complains that it doesn't match what it expected; you can install it via the adobe site easily enough [03:27] ShortWave: install sun-java6-plugin [03:27] ShortWave, how did you install java? [03:27] cwillu: I got flash under control. [03:28] cwillu: iirc the java add/remove only installs the jre [03:28] cwillu: sh jre1.6.bin; mkdir /opt/jre; cp -rv jre1.6/* /opt/jre [03:28] ShortWave, that won't install the plugin [03:28] sun-java6-plugin should be the package you want [03:29] cwillu: then of course ln -s /opt/jre/plugins/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [03:29] squarebracket: Took care of all that, so far no dice. . .waiting for time out. . . . [03:29] ShortWave, sounds reasonable [03:29] cwillu: you would think so [03:29] honestly, you're better off using the ubuntu package, as you'll actually get security updates et al [03:29] cwillu: I'm just somewhat alarmed at Firefox not being able to find the extensions. [03:30] cwillu: I can get the plugins manually, I...just really don't want to do it manually anymore [03:30] cwillu: And I'd like this to be easy as possible, since my wife is the intended target. I can beat it into submission for me, but for her, I'd like it to be more sophisticated. [03:30] if I put into /etc/fstab the command ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1 /media/harddrive/ does it gonna mount automatically at startup ? [03:30] WooD: if you put the ntfs-3g after /media/harddrive [03:31] ShortWave, the ubuntu packages have worked for me (with the exception of flash, which is kinda-sorta adobe's fault) [03:31] PurpZeY, mount.nfs still returns command not found? [03:31] cwillu: Unsurprising, flash is in a bit of an uproar these days, what with Flex/Air et al [03:31] cwillu: So...what repository do I need for this mighty sun plugin? [03:31] nickrud: Its the ThinkWiki, [03:31] i'm sure there is a quick article for this, but how can i make the dhcp server daemon start at bootup? [03:31] ShortWave, multiverse I think [03:31] slyboots: then I'm not going to worry about it :) [03:32] nickrud: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_%28Gutsy_Gibbon%29_on_a_ThinkPad_R61#Compiz [03:32] nickrud, ok so in that way /media/harddrive/ ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1 [03:32] ShortWave, sun-java6-jre/bin/plugin should do it, but make sure you have any preexisting java removed [03:32] it's troubles like this that make me stick with my mac [03:32] cwillu: simple matter of not using the path [03:33] PurpZeY, can you ping the desktop? [03:33] squarebracket: Still nothing on that command... [03:33] ShortWave, simple matter of not getting the package confused; it's still using sun's installer, and I don't think there's any guarentee's that it doesn't do something 'intelligent' in finding preexisting installs :p [03:33] whoah, that installs a pile of prereqs [03:34] squarebracket: Ping is good. [03:34] cwillu: meh, I copied the JRE I downloaded to where it's at under /opt...the name is odd enough that I doubt the installer will have an issue [03:34] meh, no suggestion? [03:34] hi. im not coming off a new install or upgrade or anything, i dont remember what i did. but the last time i restarted my computer it wouldnt boot up properly. it goes past the grub then instead of getting my login screen i get a terminal-like screen and it says "BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)" then it drops down and instead of my username it says "(initramfs)" in a terminal style prompt. i have limited commands [03:34] while in this, but i can tell that i am on my main partition because im able to cd through folders. i looked around the internet and the most common responce was to remove "quiet splash" and add "all_generic_ide" to the thing in the grub (pressing escape then e for edit and b to boot it up) but that didnt work for me. a few sites i looked at also suggested just messing with "noacpi, nodma, noapic, and nolapic" i tried each one of those, with [03:34] and without the "quiet splash" there and none of it worked. What is this problem, and how can i fix it? [03:34] ShortWave, well, you've been warned :p [03:34] cwillu: :) [03:35] cwillu: Not my first time here ;) [03:35] cwillu: I was really just wondering about the inability of Firefox to find the plugins. [03:35] WooD: no, /dev/sdd1 /media/harddrive ntfs-3g defaults[,umask=007,gid=46] 0 0 (I recommend adding the stuff in brackets to your line) [03:35] ShortWave, is it a fresh install? [03:35] squarebracket: So, as of now, all I know is, it seems that something is missing on the desktop end.....that's all I can figure [03:35] fresh and tasty [03:36] as in I installed it last night [03:36] that's weird; I've had no problems except for flash, and that used to work fine as well [03:36] oh look [03:36] standard firefox, not the beta or anything right? [03:36] in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, there is no libjavaplugin.so or anything similar after running that [03:36] the ubuntu patches are required to make the deb stuff work [03:36] nickrud, ok thanks I'll try that [03:37] cwillu: Whatever came with the default install CD [03:37] ok [03:37] PurpZeY, mount.nfs should return a help blurb though, not command not found...... [03:37] meh [03:37] about:plugins reveals...no java [03:37] PurpZeY, you added appropriate entries in hosts.allow? [03:37] (it shouldn't matter, but who knows) [03:37] ShortWave, this is with the plugin package installed? [03:38] I am trying to set up cvsd on my box... however the server is not listening on any port after i do this. Please help me [03:38] cwillu: jah [03:38] shortwave, anything interesting show up in the console if you do a sudo aptitude reinstall sun-java6-plugin? [03:38] squarebracket: ?? [03:38] !nfs [03:38] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [03:39] Can i connect my Ubuntu computer to a local Windows Network? [03:39] i cant get my thing to emulate anything using VMWare [03:39] how do i use it?

[03:39] nope [03:39] claims it installed, but... [03:39] WHERE did it install it? [03:40] ShortWave, sudo updatedb; locate javaplugin.so [03:40] which I'm sure you know [03:40] ShortWave: dpkg -L sun-java6-plugin will tell you [03:40] hi. im not coming off a new install or upgrade or anything, i dont remember what i did. but the last time i restarted my computer it wouldnt boot up properly. it goes past the grub then instead of getting my login screen i get a terminal-like screen and it says "BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)" then it drops down and instead of my username it says "(initramfs)" in a terminal style prompt. i have limited commands [03:40] while in this, but i can tell that i am on my main partition because im able to cd through folders. i looked around the internet and the most common responce was to remove "quiet splash" and add "all_generic_ide" to the thing in the grub (pressing escape then e for edit and b to boot it up) but that didnt work for me. a few sites i looked at also suggested just messing with "noacpi, nodma, noapic, and nolapic" i tried each one of those, with [03:40] and without the "quiet splash" there and none of it worked. What is this problem, and how can i fix it? [03:40] nickrud, thx [03:40] cwillu: jah [03:40] how do i install ubuntu and make it pure ubuntu [03:40] hey i'm having a problem installing torrentflux it's saying that it can't connect to my database [03:41] ubuntu1, does it say anything about running fsck manually? [03:41] cwillu: im not sure [03:41] hrm [03:41] PurpZeY, try restarting the computers, maybe? [03:41] PurpZeY, i think i'm all out of ideas.. [03:41] Jay-Oh-En: tell the installer to use the whole disk [03:41] Jay-Oh-En: as in completely FOSS? or all gnome [03:41] nickrud, thanks I reboot to test [03:41] I NEED HELP USING VMWARE PLEASE [03:41] well that's odd [03:41] cwillu: what would that do (assuming i was able to do it) [03:42] Superbike32: the people in #vmware know vmware well [03:42] dpkg -L lists some nice directories [03:42] but no files [03:42] * ShortWave knows vmware well. [03:42] squarebracket: I missed that hosts allow bit....That may have been the cause of all this [03:42] ShortWave: are you running the 64bit? [03:42] Error: Cannot connect to database to perform query tests. [03:42] bazhang: i meant like im using kde i have kubntu installed but i got bored of it so i want to use gnome again [03:42] why would i get that error using mysql admin? [03:42] ubuntu1, it's a harddisk scanner; if it said that, then the machine was probably rebooted once while it was running a scan (would've seemed like it had frozen due to a lack of progress on the boot screen) [03:43] nickrud: nope [03:43] nickrud: just a default ubuntu install [03:43] i created the database using: mysqladmin -uroot -p create torrentflux [03:43] ubuntu1, does it still give the busybox prompt if you select the recovery kernel in grub? [03:43] !pure [03:43] cwillu: yes [03:43] then i tried mysql -uroot -p torrentflux < mysql_torrentflux.sql [03:43] ubuntu1, (it'll still give you a prompt, but it'll be a bash prompt instead of busybox) [03:43] and it didn't work [03:43] PurpZeY, ah, ok. [03:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about pure - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:44] cwillu: well if i could get a bash prompt i could do startx, right? [03:44] ubuntu1, did it say anything about 'unable to mount root filesystem'? [03:44] /msg ubotu flash [03:44] cwillu: what does dpkg -L sun-java6-plugin say on your machine, do you see the oji (Im on 64bit so can't check) [03:44] i'm having a problem playing flac files. it was working yesterday, and i can't think of anything that has changed since then. i'm using totem and when i open the flac file with it, it says it can't find the plugin. seems like any other media player doesn't work either. mplayer can't decode it. [03:44] ubuntu1, yes, although /etc/init.d/gdm start would be more what you're looking for [03:45] cwillu: no, it is mounted, because i can browse around my HDD [03:45] ShortWave, what nickrud said [03:45] cwillu: ShortWave said he only had dirs listed, no oji [03:45] ubuntu1, you're sure? i.e., can you browse into your home directory? [03:45] ah, one sec [03:45] cwillu: yes, im sure [03:45] !puregnome [03:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about puregnome - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:45] i can get into my home directory [03:45] !puregnome [03:45] where is the config.php found for mysql? [03:46] nickrud, ya, same on mine [03:46] no files, just plugin _dirs_ [03:46] I have a big issue with ubutnu that has started this morning. When I unplug my laptop from the powercord (fully charged) my laptop will go into hibernation. How od I fix this? [03:46] and a doc file [03:46] which I'm looking at [03:46] hey guys i see it is very difficult to make a DVD from 2 AVI files under linux for some reason, would it be easier to just run Nero under Wine? [03:46] must be something in the postinstall [03:46] yep [03:46] Jay-Oh-En: not sure how to go about that--odd because there is a factoid for purekde but not for pure gnome [03:46] nobody is responding on #VMWARE [03:46] well then [03:46] that's just odd [03:46] can anyone here help? [03:46] yes [03:46] Got a quick question. Got the extra desktop effects running as well as the cube. but the top and bottom of the cube are just a plain colored surface. How do i make the surfaces transparent? I have cube caps off. Thanks [03:47] nickrud, ShortWave, iirc, the sun package just downloads the jre from sun, et al [03:47] even looking at installed files in the properties in synaptic, I only see a list directories [03:47] how can i get ubuntu to let a game i'm in use print screen to create a screenshot rather than having ubuntu take a screenshot of the desktop? [03:47] bazhang: so what do i do? [03:47] so if it fails, it looks like it's installed even though it isn't [03:47] squarebracket: I'll bite, that didn't work either. . . [03:47] cube caps on [03:47] and set the images for what? [03:47] ShortWave, nickrud, that's why I mentioned to make sure everything was clean first [03:47] cwillu: no the jre is a real package, it's made with java-package [03:47] how can you find a file let's say i wanted to find mysql_torrentflux.sql how would i find that? [03:47] for whatever image you want [03:47] hmm [03:47] using commandline? [03:47] Jay-Oh-En: what is the purpose of this exercise? disk space limited? [03:48] whats the command to trigger ubotu to tell me about sources and things that i might want to install? [03:48] PurpZeY, hmm... [03:48] the folders are definately populated on my machine [03:48] i don't want to do things automatically [03:48] squarebracket: Fall back to square one...try rebooting the desktop. [03:48] cute_bettong: better to ask in the channel [03:48] hi [03:48] hi. i'm going to buy an intel wireless card. the website talks aboutn row and mow wireless networks. what is the difference and how do i find out which i have? [03:48] well the thing i wanted to do, was in a video i saw on youtube. It allowed you to see through the top the the desktop on the other side. Do you know how to do that? [03:48] is there anyone from canada here ? [03:48] PurpZeY, haha, ya. sorry, i don't know much else to say :S [03:48] joeamined, yes. [03:48] i have a problem with sympatico bell adsl connection [03:48] oh well I can't troubleshoot 32bit java, on a 64bit machine [03:48] well I got it working with the jre I downloaded manually [03:48] dammit [03:49] !ca | joeamined [03:49] joeamined: Canadian Ubuntu users can be found in #ubuntu-ca [03:49] squarebracket: It's no worries, I'm sure I just missed something really tiny like a coma, or I need a reboot on both ends.... [03:49] joeamined, you're on videotron right on... [03:49] squarebracket please i can't use my dsl connection with ubuntu [03:49] nothing is claiming it owns the plugin file [03:49] squarebracket no i'm on bell sympatico [03:49] does anyone here run NERO under Wine? [03:49] joeamined, --> * joeamined (n=joeamine@modemcable223.153-57-74.mc.videotron.ca) has joined #ubuntu [03:50] cwillu: make sure you're not checking a link, follow the links back thru /etc/alternatives to find the real file [03:50] yes [03:50] now i'm on videotron [03:50] cwillu: any ideas on what i can do? [03:50] but my connection is a bell sympatico and i can't get it to work on ubuntu [03:50] PurpZeY, ya, that's always possible... the number of times i've missed small things ;) [03:50] joeamined, you're sure it's just in ubuntu? [03:50] squarebracket: Ok, wasn't the desktop. Let's try this end. [03:50] brb. [03:50] squarebracket, in linux in general [03:51] i used the ppoeconf as mentioned on internet but it didn't work [03:51] joeamined, are you plugged into the modem using a usb cable or a network cable? [03:51] when we choose a size of partition and select a dynamic Partition in the software VirtualBox, if the partition become full, does the partition will increase by itself automaticcally ? [03:51] i'm plugged using a network cable [03:51] RoxanneEDM: So do you know of a way to make it show whats on the other side of the cube through the top? [03:51] what package do I need for opengl? [03:51] am i the only person here that downloads movies and burns them to DVD? [03:51] ubuntu1, do you have network access on that machine? (i.e., can you ping google.com?) [03:51] ouellettesr: the right driver for your video card [03:52] I'm trying to get Compiz-fusion to work running Ubuntu 7.10... when I try to enable it it gives me an error saying "The Composite extension is not available." Can anyone here help me? [03:52] joeamined, you could try a usb cable maybe? sorry, but i don't know much about troubleshooting DSL :S [03:52] RoxanneEDM: that sort of talk is not supported here [03:52] Question: What is the fastest and easyest way to transfer files between two computers over WLAN, both running ubuntu? [03:52] bazhang: no i just dont want kde programs with my ubuntu programs [03:52] Hammer89: try running compiz in a terminal, you'll get more useful error messages. Don't paste it here :) [03:52] Jay-Oh-En: then un install them [03:52] nickrud, ShortWave aptitude reinstall restored the plugin files when I deleted them from the plugin directories (the symlinks at least) [03:52] joeamined, your problem has nothing to do with being canadian, though ;) [03:53] RoxanneEDM: we cannot support you in an illegal activity. [03:53] cwillu: weird. Didn't like mine at all. [03:53] nickrud: http://pastebin.com/m1d4a26e9 [03:53] ShortWave, libjavaplugin.so doesn't show up in usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ right? [03:53] cwillu: but no matter, I made it work with the official sun JRE. [03:53] idle, they are not illegal files [03:53] cwillu: correct. For that matter, dpkg -L shows me...only directories [03:54] How do you make Nautilus forget authenticated sessions? [03:54] Hammer89: you have an ati chip? Which one? [03:54] IdleOne: its a movie called Steal This Film [03:54] nickrud: ATI Radeon Xpress 200m [03:54] its not illegal [03:54] RoxanneEDM: still cant help you. google [03:54] evening all [03:54] RoxanneEDM, sorry, haven't played with burning dvd's at all; if it's a dvd image (iso), then you should be able to directly burn it, other than that, don't know [03:55] Hammer89: system->admin->restricted drivers , select the ati driver. Reboot. That will give you the right driver. There's a couple more steps after that [03:55] RoxanneEDM, if it's all the video_ts stuff, you _might_ be able to just burn it as files, but that's just me spouting off, not actually having tried that [03:55] nickrud: I've done that part [03:55] ShortWave, same here [03:55] nickrud: what are the next steps? [03:55] RoxanneEDM: google "xdvdshrink" [03:55] only directories [03:55] Hammer89: good. fglrxinfo in a terminal, make sure it's using ati drivers, not mesa [03:55] I have an issue with package management, any guru's in here care to offer a little help? [03:55] Elusis, just ask, don't ask to ask [03:55] !ask | Elusis [03:55] Elusis: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [03:55] thank you [03:56] is there anyone who can give me a hand with mySQL? i'm having problems with the password setting and creating databases [03:56] Man the forums have become clustered over the years! Anyways, anyone know a good place to go for this issue? My DVD-burner burned DVD-R's in other OS's, but it keeps prompting me to insert a blanck dvd (which I did) in gutsy no matter what program I use to burn a data-DVD [03:56] *blank [03:56] How do you make Nautilus forget authenticated sessions? For example, if I've gone to a web folder that requires a password, and I've selected "remember forever", and I want that password forgotten. [03:56] nickrud: http://pastebin.com/d7c14ccf5 [03:56] aszwet1: tried asking #mysql ? [03:57] nickrud: do you know what package contians the glu library? [03:57] bazhang: ok [03:57] RAdams: I believe that if you install seamonkey, you can manage what things your keyring has remembered. [03:57] Fireal, this may sound stupid but are you sure you have a blank dvd in the drive? I got real embarrassed once. [03:57] Hammer89: so far so good. Next install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager emerald . Then log out, hit clt-alt-backspace for luck, and log back in. [03:57] Pici: do you mean seahorse? or Seamonkey, the internet suite? o.O [03:58] RAdams: Er, seahorse. All these underwater creature apps confuse me. [03:58] pck: yep gone through about half a stack (saw that on the forums too!) [03:58] VirtualBox seems to be a nice Virtual software .. .wow I'm impressed [03:58] PIci: lol. Thanks I'll give that a shot. [03:58] nickrud, is ctrl+alt+backspace ever going to be turned off? every 6 months or so I get a call from a user wondering why their computer 'rebooted' [03:58] um apparently i fixed it [03:58] ;) [03:58] ouellettesr: I think it's libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri [03:59] Okay, Running Ubuntu on my Thinkpad R61.. I've got sound playback working but my Mic does not seem to record [03:59] <|Quest|> anyone happen to know how to passively decrypt ssl packets from a mitm? [03:59] Fireal: Another question I have to ask, have you googled your brands compatibility with linux? shouldn't be an issue but they DO exist for some things. [03:59] does KDE 4 is out for ubuntu ? [03:59] cwillu: I don't know. It would make sense, but I would miss it [03:59] WooD: no [03:59] If I go into the Preferences >Sound > Audio Conferencing > Test recording, it throws up an error..

[04:01] cwillu: yeah, I catch people getting told to clt-alt-<- and have to warn them about lost work. [04:01] Pici: for the record, you were right. Seahorse is the app I wanted. [04:02] ouellettesr: you need the development headers, a sec [04:02] RAdams: Great :) [04:02] ok [04:02] ouellettesr: install libgl1-mesa-dev , that has the headers [04:02] Nickrud: got it working... but it's making my window borders look really messed up...

Anyways click on it and make sure that its recognizing that storage.cdrom.dvdr and/or storage.cdrom.dvdrw are true (if you don't have re-write, that one will be false).

[04:16] psk: true also. Also when pop a dvd-r or dvd+rw it opens the default nautilus cd/dvd creator [04:16] Its a habit [04:16] damn [04:16] hai guise, how do I boot a livecd with text mode kernel messages showing on screen?

Thanks, I'll keep looking and trying anything I can think of [04:18] If I have a CD writing application, can I make it believe that it's writing to a CD but actually have it write to an ISO? [04:18] Fireal: sorry, my best guess that that somehow your media wasn't being detected correctly. I really don't know how to proceed from here. [04:18] squarebracket: I got nothing...Did both reboot, the services are running properly, I added to hosts.allow and hosts.deny....I can't figure it [04:18] Wiseguy: the new nano does work; also with gtk--see the link [04:19] where is the log files at so i can view them. my computer has fo some reason turned off by itself a few times now and i would like to see why [04:19] bazhang: which nano? rhythmbox (and i asume the current libgpod) broke my 3d gen [04:20] pck: hey thanks anyways [04:20] Fireal: if you figure it out post your solution to the forums - this ones kinda funny. it also may be fixed by a clean install. [04:20] I only wanted to charge it ;( [04:20] pck: I was thinking that but refusing to believe it :( [04:20] hai guise, how do I boot a livecd with text mode kernel messages showing on screen? [04:21] Fireal: Updating my fiesty caused a few wierd networking problems with no solution that magically (or not so) went away with a clean gutsy install [04:21] nickrud: the latest nano? the workaround has been around for a week or so now [04:21] bazhang: ah, it's on that page then? looking [04:21] Can someone help me troubleshoot a problem with NFS? I've followed all of the Howto directions, done everything I think is proper but it doesn't seem to work [04:21] Rudd-O: Why do you want text mode?

Maybe you would have a try of Alternative CD. [04:24] so how do I prevent the splashscreen from showing AND show the ringbuffer? [04:24] why would i only have a few days of messages in /var/log/messages? [04:24] zero88: the logs are rotated every week [04:24] log for messages.1, messages.2 et al [04:24] Rudd-O, ah i see thank [04:25] Rudd-O: Alternative CD maybe work for you.

[04:25] slyboots the session manager probably [04:25] hi [04:25] Apparently to work on my graphics chipset, I have to pass the argument SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz --replace [04:25] Rudd-O: How do you get the livecd.Downloading and burning, or shipped by mail? [04:25] But I cant find any way to make Gnome or Compiz run that as the default behaviour [04:26] anyone can help how to get a wireless connection from bell canada to work on linix [04:26] zhan_zr: dude, I ASKED what is different, what do I get from the alternate CD that will help me see the kernel ringbuffer on boot === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:26] darkkith: What?

[04:31] Rudd-O: So I recommand you to use an alternative CD rather than your livecd to install. [04:31] zhan_zr: my friend sez the alt. cd wrecks his partitions [04:31] any idea how I can find out what linux driver my wifi card uses? it's a tew-424ub (hardware revision 4.2), which has been reportedly working in ndiswrapper but I'd like to find out what driver to use. other users have reported using the zd1211b driver for the zydas chipset, but mine appears as a realtek [04:31] haymaker, I think it's in gnome-session config, but I'm not sure [04:31] haymaker, what are you trying to do?

[04:32] i have awn running, i dont want gnome panels anymore [04:32] Right, did not work :P [04:32] haymaker, just remove them [04:32] Anyone have experience with NFS? I can't seem to connect to my server [04:32] haymaker, right click, remove this panel [04:32] when i right click the last one, i get a shaded remove panel [04:32] Rudd-O, edit the grub boot options and append 'nosplash' to the end. (perhaps use nofb nosplash) [04:32] heh [04:32] one sec [04:33] Dr_willis: can't edit menu.lst, it's a LIVE CD [04:33] preferences | sessions | current session, look for gnome-panel [04:33] haymaker, ^^^ [04:33] haymaker: in the session dialog, select gnome-panel . Then down below, make it normal instead of restart. alt-f2 pkill gnome-panel, it should die and not restart. Save the session [04:33] Rudd-O, hit E at tegh grub menu - and edit the lines that way [04:33] if someone makes me say that again for the fifth time, I swear I'm just gonna log off because it's esaier to just reboot a hundred times trying random shit [04:34] Dr_willis: the livecd uses syslinux, not grub, as far as I know [04:34] i mean that is how to stop it from starting when i log in [04:34] orm, sorry cwillu [04:34] haymaker, that's what you want [04:34] you can't hit E on the boot screen of the livecd [04:34] nickrud, np ;p [04:34] !language | Rudd-O [04:34] Rudd-O: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[04:35] Rudd-O: try the alternate installer [04:35] Rudd-O, nosplash should do it, I believe [04:35] Rudd-O, are you trying to get to single user, or just normal session with no splash? [04:35] cwillu: hes trying to boot the live-cd for an install iirc. [04:36] Rudd-O, also I think you can hit ctrl-alt-f7 at boot to skip out of the splash screen after it shows up [04:36] using alternative install for Ubuntu the text based installer, the formatting seems ot hang on 33% [04:36] is this troublematic? [04:36] Shi-Lang, hang for how long? a big drive might take 20 minutes [04:36] at 33%? [04:36] 80 gb drive newish [04:37] percentage probably includes subtasks, and 33% is probably just at one of those tasks [04:37] Shi-Lang: how long? [04:37] Shi-Lang: give it some time [04:37] Shi-Lang, format, not a convert, right? [04:37] cwillu, how do i save session? [04:37] yes format [04:37] but nevermind it finished s i typed this ^-^ [04:37] haymaker, not dead sure; either apply, or session options | remember applications, or just do a clean logout [04:38] haymaker, one of those should do it ;p [04:38] haymaker: last tab on that session dialog [04:38] ok guys [04:38] thanks [04:38] nickrud, just click the button? if i have xchat and all sorts of programs open will it launch them automatically?

[04:41] ganymede: yes, there's a new scheme out there, the next link will explain a bit [04:41] !uuid [04:41] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [04:42] yeah i was wondering about that too actually [04:42] my friend's hard drive comes up as SDA [04:42] i assumed it had to do with the type of hard drive [04:43] nickrud: but if i would like to install grub for the purposing of booting another distro (i am using the livecd to make LFS) then i should pretend that it will become /dev/hda, right? [04:44] I would just set up the partitions of that drive and leave one for the other distro [04:44] oh wait what's LFS [04:44] ganymede: no, you should use the uuid or to refer to the kernel device now, [04:45] ganymede: and also in the fstab. [04:45] ganymede: it's kinda nifty. If you move the partition with dd, the uuid goes with it and grub will automatically follow apparently. Helped a guy with this today [04:45] Hey guys, whats the addon with the bomb idion that starts with a B i believe, ? [04:46] s/idion/icon/ [04:46] k installing the base system seems to have failed i dont know why it didnt say [04:46] Shi-Lang: did you run the disk check on the startup menu [04:47] this was the text version [04:47] hello. [04:47] doing dik check now with the gui version dvd [04:47] Grr. I've burned the alternate install, and it boots, but then cannot mount the cdrom "Try again to mount the cd-rom?" [04:48] brb [04:48] queuetue: [04:48] queuetue: have you verify the CD integrity [04:48] zhan_zr, Yes. [04:48] Hello. I'm trying to do manual partitioning to set up encrypted volumes with the Ubuntu alternate CD as an experiment (as in, no problem losing any data). I managed to create the encrypted partitions and setup mount point and so on, but I wanted to remove the encrypted partitions and start over. Is there any way to remove the encrypted partitions from the hard drive inside the installer? If... [04:48] ...not, how can I do that, then? [04:49] zhan_zr, On the console, I see sense_key errors, I/O errors, and inode errors. [04:49] HOLA AMIGOS!!!!!!!! [04:49] COMO LES VA??? [04:49] Can anyone help me load my firewall?

[04:53] nickrud ahh. I typed it wrong. [04:53] ameranth, you should have let him stay, i was going to tell him to leave or i was going to call the irc imigration === tritium_ is now known as tritium [04:54] queuetue: not sure what you mean; not had that experience here--likely bad media or fast burn speed [04:54] /msn VARGUX register 22dic2012 [04:54] queuetue: I think maybe it is because of the file system. The whole file system is a big squalish file. [04:54] nickrud. Sweet! it's loading. Thanks a bunch [04:55] VARGUX: should change that password [04:55] If I try to run a disk verify now, it does the same thing - starts booting linux and .. "you installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted" [04:55] queuetue, what zhan_zr said: a compressed file is much more sensitive to a single bit error than a mp3 cd, a cd of documents, etc [04:56] queuetue, try booting with nodma [04:56] queuetue, some older machines have trouble [04:56] When i boot ubuntu recovery mode, and i get to the point to enter root password or ctrl+D to continue. Will pushing ctrl+D boot me straight into normal mode? or do i need to rebot and boot from regular ubuntu? [04:56] cwillu, This is a very new machine, but ... what's nodma? [04:57] AHA, "no dma" - nodma on the command line? [04:59] Is there a way to remove an encrypted volume from the hard drive on the alternate CD installer partitioner? [04:59] nickrud Is the a sort of checklist that will show me the ubuntu/linux commands and what they do? [04:59] lixoman100, as in, delete it? [04:59] cwillu: yes [05:00] ObNockShus: they're scattered around, but !terminal and !apt will tell you some stuff to start with [05:00] lixoman100, should be the same as any other partition, unless it's not really a partition (eg, hidden inside an existing partition) [05:00] !terminal > ObNockShus (see pm) [05:00] My computer just crashed when I had a some moderately useful unsaved texted in gedit. Does gedit periodically cache unsaved files somewhere incase of a crash? [05:00] !apt > ObNockShus [05:00] cwillu: it says I can't because it is being used as a encrypted physical volume sda1_crypt [05:01] hugh, there's an option, but it's off by default I think [05:01] hugh, preference | editor if you want to check [05:01] cwillu, ide=nodma makes no difference. [05:01] maco estas aqui [05:01] nickrud Very nice. Thanks very much again. [05:01] alguien a visto a maco? [05:01] according to Md5Sum the hashes are the same [05:02] lixoman100, dunno then (haven't used encrypted file systems much) [05:02] Shi-Lang: then burn at a lower speed, we see this a lot [05:02] lixoman100, could try unmounting it from another vt [05:02] palichis: not here anymore [05:02] quick question... what's the best way to convert a text file from dos to linux? wasn't it something like dos2linux? [05:02] why??? [05:02] lixoman100, alt+f2, mount, umount the matching mount [05:02] text file from dos 2 linux? [05:02] lixoman100, and alt+f1 to get back [05:02] hugh: there's an 'autosave ever X number of minutes' option, but you need to check the box [05:02] PurpZeY: yeah [05:02] Is there a way to do a net-only install? [05:02] cwillu: yes I'm giving it a try today so I can get the hang of it. but I just found out that I had some partitions set up on the encrypted drive that I needed to remove first, dumb me. thank you [05:02] bazhang, why? [05:02] queuetue, yes; there should be a guide on the wiki [05:02] !netinstall [05:02] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues [05:02] why the hel does it need to burn at a lower speed? dvd's are abut a dollar each, thats going to be roughly 5-10$ in the drain when im through [05:03] !minimal | queuetue [05:03] queuetue: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:03] I don't have a floppy drive anymore, but ... ugh. [05:03] palichis: he was shouting, and not staying on topic. If he wants back (his ban will expire) have him (or you) ask on #ubuntu-ops [05:03] cwillu: and thank you for the alt+f2 tip, that might come in handy in the future :) [05:03] palichis: kicked from the channel [05:03] anyone? text file from dos formatting to linux formatting? i know there's a command - i just can't think of it [05:03] queuetue, you can do a netboot if you have a capable network card (most modern are, although you usually need to change the bios), and a spare computer [05:03] mattholimeau, apropos is your friend [05:04] Could someone suggest the proper syntax for finding all files with a ._ in front of the file name? I did 'ls -alR | grep ._* however that is not returning the proper results, do I have to escape any of those characters? [05:04] is there a program that allows you to enter tasks, organize time, put deadlines and then show this information in a neat way on the desktop or in a side bar? [05:04] Uhm, what "code name" is 7.10? [05:04] gutsy [05:04] gutsy gibbon [05:05] ok gracias [05:05] how long should it take to shrink a partition from 93GB to 35GB? [05:05] on a moderately fast hdd [05:05] atoponce, depends on how fragmented it is, and how full it is [05:05] Can anyone suggest why my NFS client will not connect to my server? I believe I set all of the permissions according to the HowTo, I can't seem to figure out why I can't connect === the9a3eedi_ is now known as the9a3eedi [05:05] * cwillu gave up on nfs years ago [05:05] cwillu: shouldn't be fragmented, at least not bad, and it's about 1/3 full [05:06] cwillu: So you'd use samba even for Ubuntu <--> Ubuntu? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [05:06] ok, im trying to mount from a network drive of my windows pc using samba.....when i use smbmount, i get: Could not resolve mount point [05:06] PurpZeY, well, I use ssh for that (nautilus can use ssh:// urls) [05:06] alright, I installed a soundblaster x-fi card and I'm using the digital I/O module (from soundblaster) to digital out (optical) to the optical in on my receiver... but I don't hear anything from my speakers when i turn it over [05:06] PurpZeY, but I use samba for ubuntu->mythtv, for instance [05:06] there is no option to have a lower write speed with DVD's [05:06] more reliable in my experience [05:06] cwillu: I want to play my mp3s from my desktop on my laptop when they are sharing a router [05:06] what the hell am I sup;posed to do? [05:07] I have downloaded Gutsy and burned it at 4x, however when i attempt to check the cd for errors on the menu, I get a line across the screen and I have to hard reboot. Any ideas? [05:07] oh wait [05:07] nevermind [05:07] clicked cd by acciden [05:07] PurpZeY, I'd go with samba, [05:07] cwillu: The GUI install is called swat? [05:07] cwillu - how was that not appropriate? [05:07] Alright people, is 2.4x speed slow enough? [05:07] PurpZeY, no, file sharing dialog in system will have it [05:07] mattholimeau, ? [05:07] anyone [05:07] Shi-Lang: The slower, the safer. [05:07] ? [05:08] ah [05:08] mattholimeau, apropos is a command [05:08] cwillu: So, how would I set it up? [05:08] !seen fatman [05:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about seen fatman - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:08] Which size should I make my /boot partition to be safe? [05:08] hah [05:08] ah - google hit dictionary.com first [05:08] PurpZeY, system | shared folders [05:08] i'll hit man, hah [05:08] lol [05:09] mattholimeau, I'm not sure if there's anything installed by default, and apropos only searches installed man's; searching add/remove apps or synaptic should find you something though [05:09] lixoman100: You needn't specified a indepent /boot partion [05:09] hahahahah - that WAS a RTFM comment! nice! thanks though - i didn't know that one [05:09] lixoman100: Just let it in / partion is Okay. [05:09] zhan_zr: in my case I do, because I'm setting my / to be encrypted [05:09] it'll come in handy if i can remember about it, heh [05:09] mattholimeau, apropos is probably my favourite command :p [05:09] second only to ssh [05:10] cwillu: Then how do I access these folders on the client? [05:10] lixoman100: Oh ,50M is okay. [05:10] PurpZeY, places | connect to server\ [05:10] zhan_zr: thank you :) [05:10] PurpZeY, although, what music player do you use? [05:10] ah - if anyone cared - i was looking for the dos2unix command [05:10] finally found it [05:10] ahah [05:10] cwillu: XMMS [05:11] PurpZeY, you _might_ need to mess with /etc/fstab then; anyone, does ubuntu have a fstab gui yet? [05:11] haven't paid attention to that yet [05:11] cwillu: the type of server is SSH and then the IP is the server addy? [05:11] gah! it's not in ubuntu! [05:11] PurpZeY, servername.local should work without an ip [05:12] why does ubuntu never see new usb devices that i connect [05:12] PurpZeY, ssh does need openssh-server installed first though [05:12] rencore_, what type of usb device? [05:12] hello! I was wondering if someone might be able to help me with internet connection sharing [05:12] rencore_, probably need to yell at the manufacturer [05:12] cwillu, if i try and plug the mouse in after it has booted then the mouse wont work and neither does my ipod [05:13] rencore_, that sounds familiar [05:13] rencore_: new nano? [05:13] does it work if the ipod isn't plugged in? [05:13] bazhang, no its an iPod Classic [05:13] kello I have a 7" touchscreen and I ubuntu wants to start in safe graphics mode, aren't there grub options I can set to make it work? [05:13] hello* [05:14] cwillu, no if im already logged in ubuntu doesnt recognize any newly added devices [05:14] basically, i used firestarter to set up internet connection sharing, and my xp computer can connect to ubuntu (and ubuntu can see requests from the xp computer), but ubuntu is not giving the xp computer anything at all [05:14] http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod rencore also some gtk stuff there [05:14] cwillu, i have to restart in order for it to notice [05:14] bazhang, its not about my ipod its about new devices [05:14] rencore_, let me backup. if you restart without the ipod ever plugged in, will it detect new devices? [05:15] cwillu, no it has nothing to do with the ipod im just using it as an example [05:15] rencore_, stock kernel? what happens if you run udevmonitor, and then plug something in? [05:15] I'm trying to streamline my boot process and I have found that every time i restart, the network manager re-enables wireless. i want it disabled by default. [05:15] rencore_, does anything print out? [05:15] cwillu, lemme try and yes it is stock [05:16] irv, go into the network settings, and set wireless to non-roaming [05:16] how do you cd to a folder with spaces in it? [05:16] tssom: cd [05:16] whoops [05:16] cd "folder with spaces" [05:16] i tried that, except the okay button is greyed out [05:16] does anyone know the name of the module the nvidia chipset would use for the nic card? [05:16] tssom, hit tab before the space, or type it as folder\ name\ with\ spaces [05:16] cwillu, ok i removed the mouse and it detected it but when i plug it back in it doesnt [05:16] * Starnestommy kicks his keyboard [05:17] cwillu: thanks [05:17] #list [05:17] rencore_, odd [05:17] grrr [05:17] cwillu, so now if i wanted it to work again i would need to plug it in and restart [05:18] rencore_, this is a bit of a long shot, but do you have legacy usb device support enabled in your bios? [05:18] can you do more than 1 sudo thing at a time? [05:18] xLE, sudo foo; sudo bar would work [05:18] I think you put && in between commands? [05:18] cwillu, i have no idea [05:18] aah [05:18] xLE: sudo only works on the immediately following command [05:18] xLE, you can also do sudo -s to get a shell, but pretend I didn't tell you that [05:18] if i un-check the "enable roaming" box, I can't click okay to apply the settings... unless i set an ip address [05:18] hello [05:18] cwillu: sudo -i , shame on you :0 [05:18] i got a question [05:19] anon: yes? [05:19] rencore_: is this possibly a poll irq problem? [05:19] if i pause and resume my download from the FTP server [05:19] will i cause data corruption? [05:19] i mean like.. can i do 2 sudo apt-get install's on two terminals at the same time? [05:19] anon downloading what [05:19] xLE: yes [05:19] bazhang, im the one asking the question so i have no idea [05:20] and if i md5 check my download when it finishes after pausing and resuming 10 times , will the download still be ok if the md5 sum match? [05:20] downloading Ubuntu DVD [05:20] xLE: oh wait, well if one installer is going i don't think you can [05:20] xLE: no, you can only have one apt action going at a time. Nothing to do with sudo, though [05:20] how? i always get permission errors..etc [05:20] xLE: but you can def do more than one sudo [05:20] anon: yes [05:20] k =[ [05:20] nickrud, how is sudo -s worse than sudo command; sudo command; sudo command? [05:20] logan: iirc that is not possible [05:20] xLE: butyou can have more than one package by: sudo apt-get install package1 package2 .... [05:20] it's the same environment no? [05:21] hello all i am trying to play a few different games my husband installed for me on ubuntu. i am running 7.10 all the latest updates are installed all i get with any open gl game is a black screen anyone have any idea why is it cos i have a onboard video card ? i have the latest nvidia drivers installed from the system. [05:21] tonyyarusso, i've heard that md5 sums can match and the file still can be different? [05:21] is this true??? [05:21] anon: In a theoretical sense, sure. Not in practice. [05:21] i have a question myself :D : i used firestarter to set up internet connection sharing, and my xp computer can connect to ubuntu (and ubuntu can see requests from the xp computer), but ubuntu is not giving the xp computer anything at all [05:21] anon, it's true for any hash function, but md5 collisions are actually starting to become feasible [05:21] cwillu: the shame on you was for even mentioning sudo -s|i :) [05:22] nickrud, that was the 'pretend I didn't say this' :p [05:22] although I should have made it a pm I guess :/ [05:22] tonnyyarusso: Bottomline: if the md5 sum of the file match, it's a perfect 1:1 copy from the server? [05:22] anon: for your purposes, yes [05:22] ok [05:22] kthx [05:23] basically i just want to observe traffic sent to my windows computer- the linux computer really doesn't need to utilize the connection. Is there any way to do this? [05:23] anon, sha256sum is the paranoid varient, sha1sum is for most purposes, md5sum is deprecated [05:23] (i have 2 nics, windows is connected through to linux box, linux is connected to router) [05:23] hello all i am trying to play a few different games my husband installed for me on ubuntu. i am running 7.10 all the latest updates are installed all i get with any open gl game is a black screen anyone have any idea why is it cos i have a onboard video card ? i have the latest nvidia drivers installed from the system. [05:23] can anyone help me get a soundblaster live 5.1 sound card working in 7.10?? [05:23] yummymummy: what games? [05:24] because i think the probability that the file is the different even though the md5 sums match will increases with file size [05:24] glpool [05:24] is one [05:24] true?^^^ [05:24] woot [05:24] who likes my name [05:24] anon, not really [05:24] emilia pinball is another [05:24] increase* [05:24] i read a while back abot some battery/hard drive power saving thing but can't seem to find that article, anyone know what i'm tlaking about? i think it was an apm thing [05:24] yummymummy: installed how and from where? using wine or not? [05:24] i cant get any open gl things to work [05:24] i'm trying to scale back power use when unplugged [05:25] a particular file that's 100mb isn't more likely to match a particular sha1sum hash than one that's 1kb [05:25] whats a PPA? i need to add deb http [05:25] anon, [05:25] can anyone give a hand with what i think is a codec issue, when i try and view a youtube broadcast my browser freezes? [05:25] anon, but there are simply more possible files at a larger size [05:25] nah all applications add/remove [05:25] can anyone help me get a soundblaster live 5.1 sound card working in 7.10?? [05:25] all open free source stuff bazhang [05:26] yummymummy: try running from a terminal and paste the resulting errors to pastebin (not here in the channell) [05:26] ok how do i do that [05:26] !paste | yummymummy [05:26] yummymummy: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [05:26] i only know windows based systems and i only really know mouse [05:27] rencore you still around? [05:27] bazhang: i meant how do i run the game from terminal ? [05:28] yummymummy: type the name [05:28] ahh ok [05:28] wow simple lol [05:30] how do i add a PPA?

[05:37] What do I do now? [05:37] cwillu: Wow. This will work perfectly, why was NFS suggested when things could be done so simply? [05:37] io error was during write or boot? [05:37] neeto, System - > [05:37] System -> Preferences -> Sessions - neeto [05:37] PurpZeY, unfortunately, not every app uses the gnome libs [05:37] bazhang: ASUS A7N8X-VM/400 is the motherboard [05:37] smbmount //Jeriath/F -o password [05:37] io error during Ubuntu installation [05:37] d31: Thanks [05:37] PurpZeY, which is why I mentioned samba before :p [05:38] ...

[05:38] PurpZeY, yes [05:38] yes [05:38] PurpZeY, my favourite ;p [05:38] and it was perfect [05:38] it says it has AGP 8X standard and integrated GeForce4 MX graphics on the onboard bazhang [05:38] yummymummy, and you're running the restricted drivers? [05:38] cwillu: Got it. I just wanted to be able to play my music elsewhere. can ssh do print shares? [05:38] d31: not exactly what I meant, I want to run a series of commands at startup. How can I do this? [05:38] yes [05:39] PurpZeY, no; have to use cups for that, but cups is fairly easy to work with [05:39] yes cwillu i am [05:39] yummymummy: that may be a driver problem; alternately the card cant handle the effects [05:39] neeto: You could write a script and add it to sessions [05:39] PurpZeY, just enable printer sharing, and viewing network printers, and it'll magically work a few minutes later [05:39] PurpZeY: where is sessions located? [05:39] yummymummy, via the manager, or via nvidia's package? [05:39] cwillu: Hmmm...Sometimes I am surprised at the simplicity. [05:39] PurpZeY, ??? [05:39] neeto: System --> Admin [05:39] whats the best icq client for linux? pidgin? gaim? kopete? [05:39] PurpZeY, this is Ubuntu, man! [05:39] via the manager [05:40] cwillu: I never realized print sharing was *THAT* simple. [05:40] :p [05:40] pidgin == gaim++; [05:40] neeto, startup commands are in /etc/init.d/rc.* google that, there is a fantastic video on youtube that details using rc files [05:40] !nvidia [05:40] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:40] cwillu what do you think my problem is? [05:40] yes, but is pidgin better then gaim? [05:40] anyone can do a quick walkthrough with me on mounting a freebsd partition in ubuntu? [05:40] Shi-Lang, which cd drives have you swapped out [05:40] d31: Thanks [05:40] dox: it's gaim 2.x.x [05:40] Shi-Lang, is it the same burner each time? [05:40] hey does anyone use eclipse notice that it opens extremely slowly or is this just my computer [05:40] Johnson: yeah, it's slow. [05:40] dox: it *is* gaim, just upgraded and with a namechange [05:40] I can only use this burner [05:40] Johnson, I haven't used eclipse in a few years, but how much memory do you have? [05:40] and it seems nicer than the gaim distribution i've been running in fbsd [05:40] dox: Pidgin IS gaim but much much better...They were forced to changed the name [05:40] i know, but it is better than the old gaim? ;) [05:41] as my current dvds are incompatible with all othe rburners [05:41] Johnson, and do you have a bunch of big workspaces? [05:41] dox: yes, imho [05:41] k [05:41] dox: A trillion times [05:41] damnit ;) [05:41] cwillu 1gb 1gb swap [05:41] i will go play with that do i need anything extra installed to run that [05:41] cause i wanna use a gaim skin.. [05:41] cwillu only 1 workspace no projects in it [05:41] just takes forever to open [05:41] !sleepmode [05:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about sleepmode - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:41] so, anyway, i need to mount this freebsd UFS partition.... anyone that has experience or can help with this ? [05:41] Johnson, define forever [05:41] * cwillu is losing track of his conversations, ping him if he's been ignoring you for a while [05:41] cdm10 do u get an error saying "unable to crea this part due to internal error when u trie to open up a .java file [05:42] dox: I dunno, I've never skinned it, but it is by far the best messenger I've EVER used [05:42] cwillu i don't know but its much faster on windows [05:42] Johnson: that's not normal... [05:42] hmmmm. [05:42] cwillu, yes it is the same burner for the DVD'sas it is my only working burner [05:42] Shi-Lang, I'm concerned that that's the issue (may not be broken per say, but making something incompatible) [05:42] the cds used a different burner and same problem [05:42] cdm10 it happens to me every time i open eclipse the first .java file i trie to open errors then i can try again and it will open [05:42] * jrlenz time-challenged [05:42] cwillu: i will go read that is there anythign i will need to do it liek extra files this install in pretty new here [05:43] Shi-Lang, here's a question: [05:43] k [05:43] AUTOCOMPL on : [05:43] Shi-Lang, does a live cd work on the computer that burned it? [05:43] How do I add resolution 1440x900 to Resolution panel? [05:43] I have no idea [05:43] yummymummy, there's a program I'm trying to remember the name of [05:43] cwillu: Yes. [05:43] I am not isntalling Linux on my desktop, I am insalling it on a Pentium III [05:43] yummymummy, mean time, what does "glxinfo | grep -i direct" say? [05:43] hi [05:43] hello [05:44] PurpZeY, ? [05:44] cwillu: I burned my own LiveCD installed on that machine... [05:44] Shi-Lang, yes, but just boot the livecd (without actually installing it after it boots) [05:44] Shi-Lang, just to see if it's something with the piii causing an issue [05:44] disk checking shows "erors found in 1 file" [05:45] Shi-Lang: Have you tried a different image? [05:45] umm [05:45] Shi-Lang, it won't change anything on the computer at all unless you run the installer, and click next a million times [05:45] cwillu: direct rendering: Yes [05:45] Shi-Lang, seriously, try booting it on a different machine if you have one available [05:45] k theres a problem here, the I/O eror happens when I am installing Linux with the LiveCD, the P3 loads the Live CD just fine [05:45] yummymummy, glxgears work okay? [05:45] ahhhh, sorry, missed that Shi-Lang [05:45] My cousin said I need a serial code for ubuntu. Anybody got one?

[05:53] but 1 file in particular has errors [05:53] each and every time [05:53] falieson: the card should just work, unless it is not supported or needs a work around [05:53] without fail [05:53] and i think its the same file [05:53] iotis: im unframilure with their forums but i have been there once or twice and the frown upon support issues in the chat sections [05:54] anyone here got a nexus-s working, that can give me some ideas [05:55] is there a way to boot ubuntu over the network? maybe avoid the issue of a faulty file [05:55] Shi-Lang, double check the iso hash sums, or try installing a base system from the alternate cd, and then install ubuntu-desktop by hand [05:55] My laptop does not wake up properly from sleep mode. I get a black screen with the string "Linu" in yellow at the top left. nothing else happens for a couple of minutes. Nothing is written to the logs at all during this time. [05:55] theres a way to install by hand? [05:55] Shi-Lang, you can do a netboot if your network card supports pxe (which you'll probably have to enable via the bios) [05:55] huh :S i find my self starting to wite a reply to lots of people on irc (not just #ubuntu) but i end up just hiting backspace. this happens more and more. what does this mean? [05:55] Shi-Lang, or you can use wabi if there's a windows install on it already [05:55] !install | Shi-Lang [05:55] Shi-Lang: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[06:01] gnite [06:01] <_MattB> is it possible to do a block for block copy at the device level? for instance copy /dev/sda /dev/sdb [06:01] tssom: maturity? [06:01] Shi-Lang, I'm still puzzled you're having so many problems [06:01] _MattB, yep [06:01] does anyone use stalonetray? [06:02] _MattB, dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=65536 is my usual incantation [06:02] <_MattB> excellent, that should be most helpful :) [06:02] _MattB, netcat combined with that allows all sorts of fun :) [06:03] _MattB, i.e., livecd, live cloning another running system ;p [06:04] <_MattB> i'm upgrading a raid5 array to a raid6, but i'm going to create the raid6 first, copy it over, then destroy the raid5 [06:04] im installing base system on the cmputer but it seems to hang at 83% [06:05] Shi-Lang, try booting up with all the nodma args set (can't name them offhand), and install that way [06:05] Shi-Lang, you can reenable dma after it's installed, but I have a hunch that it's related [06:05] im unsure how to do that [06:05] Shi-Lang, i think that's about the time it installs language packs, i think that is normal [06:06] I'm having a problem with my video playback. Everything ends up tinted blue in the playback. If I play my movies in mplayer, I can edit the hue to be normal, but it always resets to -100, making everything blue. Other programs do not have this option, so if I want to play a video not supported by mplayer, then I'm stuck with a blue movie. Is there any way I can set the hue to be normal by default... like, is this in some configuratio [06:06] Shi-Lang, one sec [06:06] does anyone know how to make a local network interface that is up not resolvable locally? [06:06] or what chatroom i should ask that in? [06:07] anyone know of a flash player alternative for amd64bit? [06:07] telee, are you trying to integrate it into firefox? [06:07] or are you looking for an external flash player? [06:07] yeah [06:07] i guess both [06:07] if its easier you can always email the instructions t me at blayne.bradley@gmail.com [06:07] but mostly firefox [06:07] yeah - hold on, lemme dig up a link for you [06:07] Bachiir, maybe you don't have all the wincodecs and restricted stuff installed [06:07] sweet thanks [06:07] you need to run firefox in 32 bit mode [06:07] !64amd [06:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about 64amd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:08] it was something like that to this bot, too, heh [06:08] Configuring apt!!!!!!!! [06:08] Well, it all works fine if I can manually set the hue to 0. The funny thing is that it resets to -100 every time I open the program. [06:08] it go past the 83% mark [06:08] And other programs I can't even set the hue on, which is my problem. [06:08] but ild appreciate the non nodma args instruction just the same [06:08] mattholimeau, thanks [06:09] hmmm - hard to find... [06:09] oh, oh [06:09] Shi-Lang, heh [06:09] what does it mean if i get the message 'svn: SSL not supported' when i try to make a check out [06:09] Shi-Lang, still looking, but almost found it [06:09] could someone point me to a good how to on giving kernel and module paramaters at boot [06:09] ?

[06:37] if I don't boot into X, how can I get my wifi card to automatically do iwconfig? [06:37] should I just put together a script and symlink it in /etc/rc2.d? [06:37] trey: System --> Pref --> Desktop Effects or whatever it's called and make sure it's off completely...If it is, then we can look further, but, it would definitely cause that issue.

It's not in ubuntu and I'm not familiar with it. You could compile it ... [06:40] Is there any walkthrough or such? [06:40] (or Howto, or FAQ) [06:40] Tokorona: Did you already setup your partitions? [06:41] punsad: ah, now thats a different question :) I've never done it so, sadly, all I can do is point you at man interfaces . [06:41] there's also one that says auto wlan0 \nnn iface ath0 inet dhcp [06:41] I think she only has one partition for everything [06:41] Oh, right. [06:41] You're right, /boot needs to be a seperate partition. [06:41] punsad: I've only set up wired ethernet there. I didn't get wireless until recently and networkmanager has worked for me [06:42] Tokorona: Need boot and swap [06:42] Tokorona, she's going to need a swap partition at least [06:42] no, boot does not need to be a separate partition (wonders why that myth persists) [06:42] nickrud: Yeah, I've got that -- compiled it, which is how it got on my system... [06:42] Hi [06:42] Onyx: so it seems to be saying it can't find it [06:42] * PurpZeY pulls back his statement.

I suppose you could put /home on a seperate partition than / [06:43] I don't, though, because I don't really know in advance how much space I'll use in either [06:43] PLSshowyourhelp: It means you are missing the language packages or other packages for things you're trying to turn on. [06:43] elkbuntu: I did forget (if I ever really knew) what flannel said, and I guess back in the day /boot did need to be at the front of the partition, but still [06:43] rodolfo: /home is where everything *you* personally own is in (well, users as a whole), and / is where everything else is (everything that doesnt have its own partition) [06:43] Shai_A:you have to find another server list by searching google [06:43] s/partition/disk/ [06:43] trey: I see [06:44] can any one please help me in streaming????

They are the same or they represent different partitions?

[06:49] Ah [06:49] Leechzilla: checkinstall is ok, but is a quick hack and no good for distribution [06:49] astro76: I'll try [06:49] Leechzilla: no dependency info [06:49] ah okay [06:51] Flannel: so you mean that "/" is the father of any other partition created...is it? [06:52] anyone happen to know if ubuntu, or other .deb based systems have a package that contains FReeBSD's 'csup' cvs-fetching utility? [06:53] i am getting RTSP/1.0 461 Unsupported Transport from rtsp server????????????? [06:54] Hi! I have a question: I totally borked my network settings. I installed/removed dhcpd, installed/removed firestarter, and was messing with ifconfig. Suddenly, neither of my eth connections will connect to the internet. they will both resolve a proper IP, but no internet. is there anywhere i can start to fix this? [06:54] anyone out here running vmware server? [06:54] anyoneone know is if cwillu came back from work? [06:55] Shi-Lang: no, he's still away [06:55] puargs: could try clearing your iptables out [06:56] chrisslamar: yes, but on Mandriva 2008 PP, not Ubuntu [06:56] puargs: is there anything in resolv.conf ? that's the dns resolver [06:56] rx: how might i do that? [06:57] puargs: pointers to dns servers, more accurately [06:57] nick: just 192.168.1.1, which should be correct [06:58] was there before, still there now [06:58] Yep. [06:58] moidekar: have you ever run into networking problems, such as getting the guest os to see the outside network? [06:58] puargs: that was the limit of my networking ideas :) [06:58] lol :D thank you [06:58] i'm in need of lvm help. i already had a fs in place, and decided to put lvm on top of it. will this wipe my data, or am i good to continue? [06:59] rodolfo: no, / is a "label" you give to a partition. Partitions are physical things (theyre sections of the disk), the folder things are sematics more or less. Just how linux uses those partitions [06:59] puargs: can you ping ips outside the network? [06:59] chrisslamar: yes, when I attempted NAT and host-to-host. Currently, after reinstalling VMwS, I configured it to just bridge my VMs onto the physical LAN card [06:59] i did pvcreate and vgcreate, then decided to back out with vgremove and pvremove. however, now ext3 is no longer the fs on the devices. can i get ext3 back without losing my data? [06:59] atoponce: Yes, it'll reformat as a 'lvm' partition (lvm is akin to ext3 or any other filesystem) [06:59] Flannel: so, i lost my data then? [06:59] chrisslamar: bridging works fine - haven't had probs so far [07:00] The ubuntu howtos are some of the most fun (yeh fun) and easy yet insightfull howtos i've ever read. For every passing hour i'm getting closer to removing vista ^ [07:00] atoponce: If you reformatted yeah, reformats are reformats. [07:00] Flannel: does pvcreate reformat? === _Kwitschibo is now known as Kwitschibo [07:01] moidekar: did you just setup your bridging out of the box or did you do anything special to configure it? [07:01] !filesystem [07:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about filesystem - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:01] markd: i don't believe so, hang on rebooting the machine [07:01] Flannel: hmm. reading the man page, it looks like it. crap [07:01] puargs: sounds good. [07:01] and i don't have a backup... [07:02] !filestructure [07:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about filestructure - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:03] booya! [07:03] connection working again [07:03] no clue why, not gonna question it [07:03] Where can i read about the filesystem in linux? Like what is /usr for waht about /lib ? and so on [07:03] chrisslamar: I don't remember exactly what the config answers were, but: a) I told vmware-config.pl that I wanted a bridged network, and said no to NAT & host-only. b) While creating VMs, chose the "Bridged" radio button for the VM in VMwS console... does that not work for you? [07:03] tssom: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html [07:03] thanks all :D [07:03] Yay magical rebbot. [07:04] tssom: http://www.secguru.com/files/cheatsheet/linux-file-structure.jpg is a succinct one too [07:04] Flannel: sweet thanks :) [07:04] that should be added to the bot tbh === QaDeS_ is now known as QaDeS [07:04] chrisslamar: I dunno if this is not unique to my setup, but I had another problem - vmnet-dhcpd was running away and grabbing tons of mem, leading to swap-thrash. I simply renamed the binary file instead of having to kill -9 it on every boot :-) [07:04] tssom: mind you, Ubuntu does do *some* stuff differently slightly, but its more or less the same [07:05] hey all [07:06] Shi-Lang, ping [07:06] Flannel: Would you mind elaborating on that? [07:06] hello every one [07:06] hi [07:07] do you know where i can found some doc to know how to interact with HAL [07:07] !files | tssom, this is the best they have [07:07] tssom, this is the best they have: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [07:07] moidekar: the only problem that im having is that the bridging isn't working right. i've messed around with all different kinds of network options and nothing works [07:07] basiquely i want to run a script when a mase storage device is pluggued [07:07] i know some docs on how to interact with ted [07:07] jjgan, apropos hal should give you a bit [07:07] just playing man [07:07] thanks again [07:08] moidekar: im wondering if it's something todo with ubuntu, since it's not on the supported list [07:08] hey guys [07:08] chrisslamar: well, probably not much chance I can help, since it works fine for me right now... but you wanna mention what probs you're having? [07:08] jjgan, man hald [07:08] hey sksol [07:08] my network icon dissapeared from the notification area [07:08] how can i bring it back? :) [07:08] did u check to see if your network cable is plugged in and your getting signal from that port on the router? [07:08] im connectd to wireless [07:09] Flannel: ok, lets say, i've been using ubuntu for about a year now, and im really starting to get the hang of it. where would i stand if i was to try out slackware with the knowledge i've gained from using ubuntu? [07:09] oh ok [07:09] man hald and apropos hald isn t enought [07:09] sksol, open a terminal, and run ps aux|grep Network [07:09] did that [07:09] i see a couple of lines of output [07:10] sksol, did you get NetworkManager showing up? [07:10] tssom: I'm really not the best person to ask that question. It really depends on what you've done over the course of a year (or more specifically, what issues you've overcome). A better place to ask would be #ubuntu-offtopic, as well. [07:10] root 5110 0.0 0.1 28952 2172 ? Ssl Jan08 0:00 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --pid-file /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.pid [07:10] the first two lines [07:10] one sec [07:11] im still getting a black screen when trying to play half life 2 and was wondering if anyone had any other advice, compuiz is off fyi [07:11] Flannel: ok, this is off-topic i know. but i dont want to start using a linux distro that is TO userfriendly if you know what i mean. i want to learn how use linux to. anyways thanks for you help. [07:12] so yea, i do have network manager running [07:12] tssom: TOO you mean? [07:12] tssom: Do what I did-- ditch the GUI ;) [07:12] tssom, you could just work on getting more familiar with darker corners of it [07:12] ditch the gui or go with Arch, which I feel is a nice inbetween or hard distros and completely user friendly distros. [07:12] tssom, troubleshooting problems you think you can help with on this here channel is good exercise too :p [07:13] is there a way to safely remove hardware (so i can mount it properly) in linux? lets say i accidentally didnt, and now it wont mount.. [07:13] i came across the most ridiculous product yet. McAffee Linux shield. can anyone tell me how do viruses 'pass' through a Linux environment? [07:13] fsanlu: right click the (desktop icon) and click unmount [07:13] i mean it has to be the most hogwash product i ever heard of! [07:13] dxdt: spellchecking is lame. Flannel: sounds scary :P cwillu: good point :) [07:13] abhi_, well, they do exist, they're just limited in damage potential [07:14] any ideas guys? my network icon dissapeared from the notification area... network manager is running === [1]Unrealcat is now known as Unrealcat [07:14] abhi_, more common for checking files served by linux (web, fileserver, email) [07:14] Flannel: no lets say its already unmounted unsafely, and when i plug it in. the thing i did to fix that before was to plug it in a windows machine and safely rmeove it there.. it then fixed it.. can i do that somehow in linux? [07:14] cwillu: ah... [07:14] sksol, system | network , and tell me if roaming is enabled [07:14] abhi_: yes that i can understand running server side virus scanners [07:15] cwillu: yes that i can understand running server side virus scanners [07:15] yes, it is [07:15] abhi_, and some places are required to run something to fulfill some company regulation, regardless of the os; it sucks, but having a product means they can sidestep the whole problem [07:15] ok, all i did is accidentally removed it from the panel [07:15] sksol, did you remove the whole notification area maybe? [07:15] i did, but i got it back [07:15] sksol, if so, just right click, add to panel, find notification, and add it [07:15] cwillu: but really what potential does a virus have on linux? u need to execute malicious code as super user and u need to do it intentionally [07:15] fsanlu: right, the "safely remove hardware" thing is the same as unmounting it. What is happening (is this a camera card by any chance?) is whatever originally found and moounted it upon insertion is having issues because you yanked it out from under it. A restart will fix it (thats overkill), restarting whatever service handles that should work too (I dont know which though) [07:15] but that icon is still not showing [07:15] sdg [07:16] sksol, k, relogging would fix it, but I think there's another way [07:16] hmm [07:16] lemme try [07:16] Hi, I have a problem with installing PHP5 on my system [07:16] cwillu: so it's totally counter productive to have a virus scanner running on a Ubuntu desktop [07:16] ill be back [07:16] sksol, I think you can kill NetworkManager, have it restart, and it'll bring back the icon, but I'm not dead sure on that [07:16] hello... I just installed Ubuntu... and noticed that it's not recognizing my headphone jack... is there any way to fix that? [07:16] i guess no one wanna help me ... ok. [07:16] ill just try relog :) [07:16] Hey, I'm having some issues with wine, any body in here that can help me out? Trying to get WoW to work. [07:16] abhi_, well, it's not strictly necessary, but I wouldn't necessarily say counter productive (although the performance loss with some of them may be) [07:17] mnemonica, what issues? [07:17] When I tried to download php5 either via package manager or console, it says the package is corrupt [07:17] Hammer89, laptop? [07:17] cwillu: i think it's just not necessary. the very concept of a virus scanner defies the security principles of Linux/Unix [07:17] hey guys, i just installed mythbuntu onto my media pc, and the wireless network (NetGear 54g) isn't working properly. Network manager attempts to connect to the wireless network, and one green light goes on in the icon, but it stays that way. Any ideas? [07:17] abhi_, well... [07:17] Flannel, oh its an external HDD.. thanks ill try to play with it.. [07:17] :] [07:17] abhi_, defense in depth is a valid concept [07:17] cwillu, it's instatlled, and it starts up and whatnot. But as soon as it gets past the introduction movie it crashes. [07:18] cwillu: yes... toshiba satellite [07:18] abhi_, definately useful for anything acting as a server for one, and in some environments it might be prudent; the fact that 99% of a population doesn't need something doesn't mean that the product isn't useful to the last 1% [07:18] mnemonica, what video card? [07:18] mnemonica, and what version of wine? [07:19] !audio [07:19] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [07:19] cwillu i think ppl should stop running crapware like Vista and switch to Gutsy! [07:19] :P [07:19] Hammer89, ^^^ [07:19] When I tried to download php5 either via package manager or console, it says the package is corrupt. Any help? [07:19] cwillu: thanks [07:19] cwillu: then i will see where we get 'viruses' from. i mean McAffee is the heights they even have a virus scanner for running on a Mac Desktop!!! [07:19] Hammer89, play around with alsamixer as well, but often it can get a bit complicated [07:19] cwillu, latest version of wine... Where would I find what video card I have. I can't remember for whatever reason. [07:20] cwillu: heights of paranoia. i wouldn't b surprised if Mcafee Symantec are churning out viruses themselves [07:20] k guy, reloggin did the trick, thanks :) [07:20] guys8 [07:20] Hammer89, you _might_ want to make a ubuntu hardy (8.04) livecd, boot off it as a test and see if the sound works better with that (it's alpha, but it won't break anything if you don't actually install it) [07:20] mnemonica, run lspci|grep -i vga [07:20] ok, now the hard question: [07:20] sksol, np [07:20] hey. i got a tar and i want to burn it to 4.7gb dvd 's (the tar is about 13 gb...) how can i split it? [07:21] hello, anyone can help me with WINE ? thanks [07:21] I followed ---> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft to the letter. Their little test thing in terminal returned a "yes". [07:21] split [07:21] !split [07:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about split - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:21] my laptop came with some media keys in front... and initially they controlled rhythmbox when i installed ubuntu. how do i configure them to run my commands? [07:21] cwillu: 8.04 is out? [07:21] i do it after i tar ? [07:21] yahoo fixed my blinking cursor issue! somehow related to menu.lst noidea why [07:21] Hammer89, no, it's under development [07:21] cwillu: ah... okay [07:21] Hammer89, but there are test versions available [07:21] do the link I mentioned first [07:21] cwillu: okay... how hard is it to upgrade? [07:22] but if you have no luck, try the hardy cd, and _if_ it solves things, then that opens up some other possibilities [07:22] I am trying to get around the fact that HP bios updates for my machine aren't available except as a windows executable [07:22] Hammer89, I'm not going to recommend you _upgrade_ to hardy, at least not for a few months, but if it works there, then you can often use pieces of it to patch up gutsy [07:23] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51309/ <--- output of lspci|grep -i vga [07:23] If I were to find a way to get the image out of the executable, are there tools to then use the image to flash the bios? [07:23] martzipAN^, do you have split installed? (i.e., "man split " do anything?) [07:23] thx mnemo [07:23] thx mnemonica rather [07:23] cwillu: understood :) It was more of a seperate question (i.e., when 8.04 is out... how hard is it to update from 7.10?) [07:23] what was the command to check what processes are acessing a particular device under /dev? (in my case i need to see what is accessing /dev/radio0) [07:24] jscinoz, lsof [07:24] cwillu, Welcome. [07:24] jscinoz, lsof|grep /dev/dafsdfasdfasd [07:24] thank you [07:24] Hammer89, dead simple [07:24] any ideas guys? how to get the input from media keys on my laptop? [07:24] Flannel, okay i experimented. it seems like lets say for a USB flash drive, that when i "unmount" it.. it still keeps the light on.. which means its still being used. so when i pull it off.. it wont let me plug it back in unless i reboot.. or i wait to pull it out when i turn of my comptuer (which turns it off) [07:24] they used to control rhythmbox, i know that === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [07:24] Hammer89, the updates will one day say "hey, there's a new version, want it?", you click yes, an hour later your done (if all works as it should) [07:25] mnemonica, how are you starting wow? [07:25] cwillu: cool :) [07:25] mnemonica, output of "glxinfo | grep -i direct"? (just paste the one line here) [07:25] during startup all my mesages are ending up on tty8 is there away for all of this to be going to my .var/log/dmesg file other log file ??? [07:26] cwillu, through wine... Applications > wine > Programs > World of Warcraft > World of Warcraft [07:26] fsanlu: I've never really done anything with external drives, so I'm going to just bow out of this support request ;) I'm sure you'll find someone here than can help though. [07:26] drgeb, they should already be going into dmesg [07:26] cwillu, I'll check that, hold on. [07:26] hehe no worries :] [07:26] Okay, I tried making a kubuntu installation CD in Windows, but when i booted up, it got stuck at the loading... Screen. I am currently running ubuntu, but I need to make an installation CD that will work (I only have one blank CD left). Can someone please guide me through this? [07:26] cwillu, direct rendering: Yes [07:26] okay [07:26] ObeyRoy: Ubuntu runs? [07:27] Yeah [07:27] drgeb: I think they usually go to both. is /var/log/dmesg really not getting anything? [07:27] mnemonica, fair warning, I haven't run wow under intel, but I'd expect it should work [07:27] I used an old CD [07:27] :( [07:27] cwillu I tried doing a grep for an exact message displayed in tty8 for all files in /var/log and nothing showed up [07:27] that i had delivered [07:27] mnemonica, do you know the path that wow is installed (the actual linux path?) [07:27] drgeb, make sure you run it as root [07:27] jmdc dmesg is getting some of it [07:27] drgeb, sudo lsof|grep /dev/foobar (sorry about that) [07:27] cwillu I am root [07:27] cwillu, I've run WoW fine on this computer under Vista... I just got rid of the damned thing though, and now I'm trying to get it to work in ubuntu. :) [07:27] cwillu, Yeah, hold on, I'll get it. [07:28] drgeb, are you sure a process is using it? [07:28] drgeb, try lsof|less, and search using / [07:28] cwillu, /home/mnemonica/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft blah blah lots of files [07:29] mnemonica, okay, this is from memory... [07:29] mnemonica, wine /home/mnemonica/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/wow.exe -opengl [07:29] What's the name of that application that lets you run a web app like a normal one? [07:30] tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [07:30] ok this website says I need mplayer plugin [07:30] cwillu, do the backslashes have to be in there between World of Warcraft? [07:30] how do i skip it? [07:30] I got the latest mplayer plugin from the apt-get sources [07:30] Did you get that, Flannel? [07:30] but it doesn't work for my browser [07:30] what is the deal here? [07:30] mnemonica, the spaces need to be escaped, so either the whole path needs to be in "fasdasdfa asfasdfa", or each space needs a \ [07:30] hey all, im having trouble with sound under 7.0.4, it was working for 8 months or so and suddenly stopped--ive been through the comprehensive sound troubleshooting guide on the forums, the only thing it accomplished is me losing and being unable to reinstall my driver--anyone wanna lend a hand?

Sure it's not ideal, but it does work [07:31] mnemonica, and the capitalization has to be right ;p [07:31] mnemonica, there's a trick though [07:31] What do you mean, as a replacement? [07:32] the tar breaks [07:32] tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [07:32] is there a way to ignore errors and keep taring [07:32] ? [07:33] cwillu, What trick? And it didn't crash this time... But the login screen is all screwed up. I can input in the text boxes and click the buttons, but theres no text and the background is black with a couple of yellow lines. [07:33] I prefer Kubuntu to Ubuntu, I've used both before [07:33] My problem is that I don't have a Kubuntu disc, and I need to make a working one [07:34] anyone? [07:34] cwillu, And I can see the top panel even though its in fullscreen... weird. [07:34] mnemo, type wine /home/mnemonica/.wine/drive_c/Pro/Worl/Wo [07:34] and then add the space -opengl [07:34] drgeb, did you see anything with /dev in it? [07:34] mnemonica are you looking for a way to start wow in wine with just a single command? [07:35] jscinoz, No... Just get it to work correctly. [07:35] yes [07:35] cwillu, alright... I'll try that. [07:35] mnemonica are you running compiz? [07:35] cwillu yes [07:35] jscinoz, yes. [07:35] ok to fix the panel thing.. [07:35] open ccsm [07:35] can anyone help me with importing Outlook data into Evolution? [07:36] cwillu interesting thing is I do not see /dev/tty8 [07:36] um, any ops know what's up with floodbot? [07:36] mnemonica, open ccsm, go to workarounds and enable "legacy fullscreen support" [07:36] :-( I still couldn't fix my problem :could not apply changes fix broken packages first  [07:36] Anyone know a ubuntu compatible PCI Audio Card? [07:36] drgeb, what's going on? [07:36] Flannel, you still there? [07:36] Why would anyone want to use Kubuntu over Ubuntu? [07:36] because some people prefer KDE to gnome. [07:36] why? [07:36] it's just a personal preference, I guess [07:36] brucewagne1, some people have a disorder that makes them want to customize their desktop; such people are to be pitied, but anyways :p [07:37] i stile [07:37] heya cwillu [07:37] cwillu however when i hit F8 I do get into the screen which simply has logs in it but not allowing me to log in or anything [07:37] What's the difference(s)? [07:37] Shi-Lang, hey there [07:37] ack--anyone wanna take a shot at my alsa prefences? [07:37] ObeyRoy: You can convert an ubuntu install into a kubuntu install (and subsequenty remove the ubuntu) [07:37] er alsa issues [07:37] so far all my installaton sttempts have failed so ill try the disabling dma or whatitscalled route [07:37] brucewagne1, more configurable, with the tradeoff of less things working as simply as they could [07:37] cwillu, how would I exit WoW from the command line? [07:37] brucewagne1, KDE is more complex, but allows a higher degree of customisation [07:37] Flannel, how do I do that? [07:37] mnemonica, ctrl+c [07:37] ObeyRoy: Once you've got Ubuntu installed, install the kubuntu-desktop package [07:38] ObeyRoy: To remove ubuntu later, follow this: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde [07:38] drgeb, and? [07:38] cwillu, Well... I can't get back into the WoW screen... It's not on any of my bottom panels, but the music is still playing. *sigh* [07:38] mnemonica, alt+tab isn't doing anything? [07:38] Thanks Guys! [07:38] hello? [07:38] Flannel, where can I find that? [07:38] cwillu so why are these messages on tty8 not in any logs files located in /var/log particularly dmesg.log [07:38] mnemonica, ctrl+alt+f1 will escape to a terminal (ctrl+alt+f7 to get back), you can killall wine to kill it [07:39] drgeb, weird [07:39] k cwillu, what command do I add to disable the dma? [07:39] ObeyRoy: in the repositories. Uh, open up synaptic package manager, click in the package window (where it lists the names, and start typing "kubuntu" by around the b, you'll be there [07:39] drgeb, tty's are numbered from 0, that isn't tripping you is it? [07:39] is there anybody used ubuntu 7.10? [07:39] cwillu, just issue "killall wine" outside of x? [07:40] hey when i close eclipse for some reason it removes the jre system library from the project. which screws up everything [07:40] hi guys my mouse doesnt seem to want to scroll down any idea what is causing this i can scroll up and it was working 2 mins ago [07:40] mnemonica, should do the trick [07:40] cwillu, Alright... attempting. [07:40] only thing i can think of is that i just set up the cube desktop thing [07:40] Flannel:After I do all this, it will be as if I installed Kubuntu? [07:40] Shi-Lang, when it failed at <...installing packages...> did it say what package failed? [07:40] k cwillu? what command do I add to disable the dma? [07:40] cwillu when my system starts up all log messages during startup of the machine and processes send to tty8 are not logged so its hard for me to debug right now issues that I am observing [07:40] it failed at selecting and installing software [07:40] ObeyRoy: yeah [07:41] >cwillu: it failed at selecting and installing software [07:41] Shi-Lang, did it say which package? [07:41] no [07:41] Flannel: Where do I find the synaptic Packet manager? [07:41] not that I know of === diafic is now known as di[a]fic [07:41] ObeyRoy: you should log into kubuntu (logout of ubuntu, go to "sessions" at the login screen, choose KDE) before removing ubuntu though [07:41] I haven't used Linux since hoary Hedhehog [07:41] there is no splash screen or any signal when i boot into ubuntu 7.10 [07:41] ObeyRoy: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [07:41] i have semprom 2400+ and 512ram coloco linux ou nao? [07:41] i have semprom 2400+ and 512ram coloco linux ou nao? [07:41] cwillu, tried it in terminal and ctrlaltf1area and got same result: wine: no process killed [07:41] I think I've screwed up my Flash Player video (i.e. YouTube) by installing some things using Automatix..... and often my Divx codec seems to stop working (re-starting Ubuntu seems to fix it)... Should I just reinstall Ubuntu, and then not install anything except from Add/Remove...and Synaptic..... to get a clean install....? I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64, by the way. [07:41] i have semprom 2400+ and 512ram coloco linux ou nao? ... [07:42] i have semprom 2400+ and 512ram coloco linux ou nao? ................ [07:42] Shi-Lang, okay, boot the cd, add the following to the boot line: nosplash nodma noapic nolapic acpi=off [07:42] exactly that after the '--'? [07:42] brucewagne1: Reinstall is the best way to get rid of the a- word, yes. [07:42] Flannel, thanks! [07:42] Thanks, Flannel, I appreciate your help [07:43] Shi-Lang, before, sorry (not dead sure it matters, but that's where I always put it) [07:43] brucewagne1, are you attached to running the 64bit version? [07:43] jscinoz, By the way, Legacy support or whatever in ccsm was already enabled... What does that mean? [07:43] Mr Flannel sure is a nice guy. :) [07:43] halo [07:43] how do i change the font color of my system clock on the top panel? [07:43] brucewagne1, you might find your life simpler if you just run the 32bit version [07:43] cwillu, I am running on an AMD64 processor.... Do I have a choice? [07:43] how to setup ubuntu 7.10 in external hard disk , my internal hdd using windows vista [07:44] brucewagne1, yep, you can run either; the 32bit will have better binary support though [07:44] :-D [07:44] cwillu, tried it in terminal and ctrlaltf1area and got same result: wine: no process killed [07:44] brucewagne1, it just won't take full advantage of the cpu (which probably won't be noticable for many uses, outside of video editing, and similarily demanding tasks) [07:44] Oh, by the way, my internet is running a bit slow... I remember having this problem before, and it had to do with using IPv6 instead of IPv4. Does anyone know any more about this? [07:45] i got my gf to use linux! (yay!) but she goes to this one website http://www.soompi.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=583&st=2600&start=2600 and it doesn't show pictures, only the link to the picture and i have no idea why it does that.. anyone? [07:45] mnemonica, one sec, let me start it up and double check the process [07:45] cwillu, NO WAY! you're kidding me! I thought that since I was running on an AMD64-bit processor, that everything had to be 64-bit! [07:45] cwillu, alright, thanks. [07:45] anynone? i need to change my font color for my clock in the panel... it is transparent, and both the background and the font are black... cant see the time [07:45] :( [07:45] cwillu: so what does this command do exactly and how do i know if it works? [07:46] wow, it's 7:45 am and you guys are still kickin'! [07:46] Aeleon: it's 11:46 here [07:46] Shi-Lang, it turns off a whole whack of things that cause issues on various pieces of hardware; this is the shotgun/nuke-the-site-from-orbit approach :p [07:46] Shi-Lang, and it works if it installs :p [07:46] where are you, in cali [07:46] cwillu, Hey, I closed the terminal that I used to issue the command to start WoW the first time you asked me to. And the music stopped... But now I can't move my windows and I have no close/max/min/restore buttons. [07:46] ? [07:46] Shi-Lang, nothing there creates any lasting settings [07:47] guys, if i cant see the time... i will be constantly missing my bedtime! please, need some help [07:47] mnemonica, from the ctrl+alt+f1, run DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace [07:47] rofl [07:47] mnemonica, may not fix the mouse, but it should bring back window decorations at least [07:47] Sksol: you want to change the font or the color? [07:48] Shi-Lang, you can add irqpoll to that as well, but it may just slow things down quite a bit [07:48] color of the font [07:48] cwillu, I can just install the 32 bit version of Ubuntu then... and everything will work better...? Then, you mentioned video editing... Ouch. I am planning to do video editing.... using Kino or something... Does that mean I should stick with the 64bit version? === _max is now known as max` [07:48] brucewagne1, well, easier, not necessarily 'better' [07:48] brucewagne1, it'll still work, it just can't take advantage of 64bit code for the most part (all the libraries would be 32bit) [07:49] sksol, I'm new too, i'm trying to find a way to change it [07:49] brucewagne1, I think you can generally run 32bit binaries even under 64bit ubuntu, but it does add some complexities, and it _will_ uncover bugs [07:49] heh, thanks... [07:49] brucewagne1, if the livecd boots, then it'll work fine [07:49] Are you using KDE, Sksol? [07:49] nope [07:49] gnome [07:50] that's odd... [07:50] cwillu, brought everything back, even mouse, but the ctrlaltf1thing stalled... No more prompt. Weird? [07:50] You guys are a dream! I'm so glad I discovered this IRC thing. Thanks! [07:50] cwillu do u have any messages after booting in /dev/tty8 ? [07:50] is it a really really bad idea to try to flash my bios using wine? [07:50] one sec [07:50] drgeb, a couple 'starting foo [ ok ]' lines [07:50] jmdc: Your BIOS flash thing runs on a boot disk, usually. [07:50] jmdc, some hours ago someone came in and decided to do that very thing. [07:50] cwillu: occasionally a sim booting the live cd it complains about a "applet.py" not working [07:50] drgeb, you can't scroll up in a vt after you've switched away though [07:51] because he had an exe. [07:51] someone mentioned freedos to him, I dunno if that helps because I don't know what I'm talking about. :x [07:51] cwillu so these message in /dev/tty8 do u see a copy of them in any log files in /var/log ? [07:51] cwillu, frickin thing restarted x... [07:51] drgeb, let me check [07:51] Aeleon: did they actually use wine then? [07:51] cwillu, I don't know why... [07:52] Flannel, you still here? [07:52] ObeyRoy: depends ;) [07:52] jmdc, well, grep didn't find anything [07:52] cwillu: occasionally as im booting the live cd it complains about a "applet.py" not working [07:53] jmdc, they did. but i didn't stick around to see their success. [07:53] i don't know if they did, either, i feel like they just went off and did it. [07:53] cwillu, everything seems to be fine though... So, what's next? Last thing was the non-tab commandline thing. Since X restarted, I don't have our previous conversation. Could you repeat the second filepath recommendation for me, please? [07:53] drgeb, no, I don't see them anywhere [07:53] Aeleon: well, nothing to lose but my computer, right? [07:53] mnemonica, basically, wine /path/to/WoW.exe -opengl [07:54] cwillu cause this is what I would like to have, seems to me right now all my init.d startup scripts are logging to /dev/tty8 and no where else [07:54] can anyone help me with a noob question? [07:54] jmdc, backitup, doll. nothing a simple reinstall won't cure. [07:54] I have Logitech Pro 5000 Webcam, I installed the drivers from berlios, but for some reason, they seem to work only in Skype. Could you please recommend a video capture program? Is this a known issue with this camera? [07:54] cwillu so all erros and stuff is just scrolling by [07:54] !ask | brenix [07:54] brenix: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [07:54] :D I'm learniiing! [07:54] drgeb, notably, a bunch of stuff will get logged to tty1, in addition to what goes to tty8 [07:54] cwillu, with \ every time I have a space in there? [07:54] drgeb, starting with nosplash might help [07:54] can firefox resume a download that's terminated because of a chrash? [07:54] mnemonica, or anytime you get lazy :p [07:55] cwillu, heh. alright. [07:55] XiXaQ, I know the 3.0 beta's can, I'm not sure if the earlier ones do [07:55] worth a try, XiXaQ. [07:55] but i'd flashget it. [07:55] Aeleon, I don't know how. [07:55] Shi-Lang, any luck booting with those args? [07:55] newbee on Linux -- how do i create a shortcut for programs -- like a (calc) with hotkeys?? [07:55] cwillu: occasionally as im booting the live cd it complains about a "applet.py" not working [07:55] if it can, it'd be available from the download window. [07:55] just recently installed dwm and would like to know what to add and where to add certain apps to the session, such as the app to automatically configure network cards [07:55] where the 'open' link is, a 'resume' button would be. [07:55] Aeleon: I'm not so sure - I chatted with hp support and they said that the bios updater only works on windows [07:55] I've been downloading open-xchange, which is 700MB, but firefox chrashes so often, it's almost impossible to get it down. [07:55] cwilllu hpw do u turn off splash ? [07:55] sorry if you alrdy anwered but i couldnt find the reply [07:55] lazy247x, just drag from the menu, or from the nautilus window (holding shift gives a menu of options when you let go) [07:56] mnemonica, its supposed ot make the panels not show oever the game >_< worked for me [07:56] ok [07:56] let me try it [07:56] drgeb, edit the boot line in grub, removing 'splash' [07:56] bah [07:56] but wine lets you use windows executables on linux. [07:56] drgeb, and 'quiet' [07:56] no? [07:56] so the logic is there, jmdc. [07:57] Aeleon, I'd have to have drunk quite a bit to run a hardware level utility under wine without somebody having told me they tried it and it worked :p [07:57] Depends on how long you've had the pc, cwillu. [07:57] So, Flannel (or anyone else) It wants me to end my command with && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, do i forget that, since KDE is already installed? [07:57] Aeleon, not really [07:57] anyone know what to add and where to add an entry for a certain session (or dwm..)??? [07:57] for starup apps [07:57] ObeyRoy: you don't need to (but it wont do anything bad) [07:57] okay [07:57] is there a way i can use (CTRL + KEY)?? for the calc program [07:57] ObeyRoy: all itll do is say "you've already got it installed" [07:58] Aeleon, if I hadn't flashed the bios before under wine, I'd have to be _very_ desperate before I flashed it from wine, or not very attached to the mobo [07:58] I bet i should log into KDE before doing that? [07:58] actually, woah, stop the presses. [07:58] brb [07:58] ObeyRoy: You should log out of gnome at any rate. If you're in a tty, it wont matter [07:58] * cwillu stops the presses [07:58] a simple google search has told me that people think flashing with wine is a bad idea. [07:58] jmdc, you there? [07:58] Flannel: TTY? [07:58] Aeleon: what I mean is, if it doesn't work and the bios gets messed up, I don't think I can easily restore the bios, because the only stuff hp gives is updaters that run in windows. I won't be able to get at anything if I brick this box. [07:58] http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=flashing+bios+with+wine&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [07:59] jmdc, don't flash from wine, k? [07:59] ObeyRoy: ctrl-alt-f1 through ctrl-alt-f6 (ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to gUI) [07:59] cwillu, aeleon: thanks. I needed an intervention. [07:59] cwillu: I got the error again, [Errno 5] Input/Output error at 34% omsta;;omg system/copying files [07:59] im going to sleep now [07:59] installing? [07:59] I will go sit in my corner and think about what I have done. [07:59] :p [07:59] wow [07:59] jmdc one sec [07:59] yes when installing [07:59] that scared me [07:59] jmdc, damn, i just felt a wave of guilt at the thought of encouraging you to flash your bios and having you brick your box [07:59] . [07:59] cwillu, it gave me the same result as last time. I tried to take a screenshot (pressed the printscreen button) and X crashed and restarted. [08:00] is there a nice easy way to authenticate ubuntu against openldap? [08:00] thanks! you guys are the best! esp cwillu and flannel... i'm going to bed now. nite nite [08:00] gn brucewagne1 [08:00] alright, I'll be back [08:00] sleep time be back later [08:00] Shi-Lang, I'm pretty much stumped [08:00] Aeleon: don't worry, what this really is about is me trying to "beat" hp and being pissed off that they only support microsoft [08:00] jmdc - http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=how+to+flash+bios+with+linux read some of these, see if they're relevant. [08:00] Shi-Lang, my next thing would be to install to a drive on a different machine, and then put that drive in the pIII, but I'm not sure if you want to do that [08:00] I instaled Wicd as my network manager and the available networks are displayed (a couple of times, there are like 12 netowrks, 4x3 of them with the same name, there are ohnly 3 networks). But I can't connect, the status bar blinks for a second and then nothing happens. I couldn't find a solution on the net. any ideas? [08:00] cwillu, this WoW install is fresh from the box Burning Crusade (no patches) does that make a difference? === c1|freaky_ is now known as c1|freaky [08:01] mnemonica, I'm running burning crusade, should work [08:01] cwillu, Mmmk.... But it isn't lol... Any other ideas? [08:01] mnemonica, did you get the message about the fullscreen thingy? [08:01] jmdc, I am afraid I am very un-knowledgable of these things, so I don't want to tell you something wrong. [08:01] !find qt-mt [08:01] jmdc, do you have another machine available? [08:01] Package/file qt-mt does not exist in gutsy [08:01] cwillu, fullscreen thingy...? [08:01] hello, I got a problem whit my laserjet 6L printer. In dmesg I got this: [84307.880798] audit(1199865622.590:11): type=1502 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="rw" denied_mask="rw" name="/dev/tty" pid=13017 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" === Shapeshifter__ is now known as shapeshifter [08:02] jmdc, I'd almost suggest finding a small computer shop that would be willing to boot off a windows pe cd (xp livecd basically), or a windows disk temporarily, and install the update from there [08:02] jmdc, how desperate are you to apply the bios update? [08:02] mnemonica, one sec, I'll check the scrollback [08:03] can anyone help me doing this: http://paste.debian.net/46472 ??? [08:03] jscinoz, what was the gconf-editor thingy again for mnemonica ? [08:04] huh, terminal won't let me copy that text into it [08:04] vinicius, sorry, the extent of my 64bit knowledge is to suggest the 32bit version of ubuntu :p [08:04] anyone know how to add the gnome-settings-daemon, etc. to a dwm session??? [08:04] cwillu: I don't think I can install from a windows disk, since hp uses winflash which is some sort of actual windows gui program. I'm not horribly desperate [08:05] Is it because it's too long? [08:05] * cwillu is losing track of his conversations, ping him if he's been ignoring you for a while [08:05] cwillu, i didnt mention any thing about gconf-editor, i was talking about a setting in ccsm [08:05] ObeyRoy: Shouldn't be. More likely a paste buffer issue. Try copying a piece of the command and see [08:05] jmdc, you could flash it from a drive with windows already installed, or you could flash it from a windows pre-execution environment cd (which is just xp with process limits on a cd) [08:06] cwillu, I do remember that... The setting that jscinoz mentioned was already turned on. [08:06] Flannel: I pasted it to the notepad, and it worked [08:06] jscinoz, okay, I think it has the same setting [08:06] jscinoz, Thanks though. ^_^ [08:06] mnemo, did you check that it was on? [08:06] mnemonica you could always try turning it off and seeign what happens :P [08:06] indeed [08:06] jscinoz, turning compiz off? [08:06] Does tvtime support DVB-T and if so, is there somewhere i can fidn a guide on how to set it up [08:06] Hello! Greeting! Im new on the ubuntu community [08:06] mnemonica, no the legacy fullscreen option [08:06] mnemonica, well, that would probably work too [08:07] jscinoz, I'll attempt both... [08:07] cwillu, should I continue the command line thing? Or can I attempt to launch it conventionally? [08:08] hi guys i cant seem to scroll down with my mouse (up works) i think it may have been something i did wrong while setting up the 3d cube effect [08:08] mnemonica, I'd try turning off compiz, and then starting it conventionally, and if it doesn't work, trying the -opengl setting, still with compiz off [08:08] OI [08:08] cwillu, will do [08:08] cwillu, what about the speed of the systems? [08:09] sorry, that was me being stupid, flannel [08:09] Hey guys: [08:09] vinicius, won't have 64bit instructions, but it'll still run at the same clock speed; for most uses you won't notice a difference, for cpu intensive stuff, you might [08:09] cwillu: thanks again. I'll probably just end up temporarily installing windows. [08:09] ObeyRoy: Happens to all of us ;) [08:09] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD I'm trying to establish a VPN between my ubuntu box at home and a Vista Laptop herein the UK using that FAQ, but when I go to connect, Vista tells me it isn't responding. [08:09] cwillu, still crashes when accessed conventionally... Even with desktop effects turned completely off. [08:09] jmdc, fair warning that windows installs tend to mess up grub; it's recoverable with the install cd, but it's annoying [08:09] cwillu, thats the problem.. sometimes I really use hard the system [08:09] mnemonica, k, add the -opengl switch [08:10] vinicius, sorry, I'm not a 64bit user; I just know that 32bit works, minus 64bit instructions [08:11] Okay, i pasted it into the shell, but now i can't enter my password [08:11] ..Anybody? [08:11] How come my video quality isnt very good? It was before ii reinstalled ubuntu ... so i dunno what i did last time to make it look nice o.O [08:11] it asks for the password, but when i type anything in, it doesn't register [08:11] ObeyRoy, can't enter it, or it just doesn't echo what you type? (password prompt won't show anything at all as you type) [08:11] cwillu: yeah, thanks again [08:11] cwillu, thats true... thanks! [08:11] Aeleon: what what was your question? [08:11] anyone help me to get this mouse working properly again? [08:11] ObeyRoy: should be your user password. and no, it wont display anything. [08:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD I'm trying to establish a VPN between my ubuntu box at home and a Vista Laptop herein the UK using that FAQ, but when I go to connect, Vista tells me it isn't responding. Where do I begin? [08:11] Aeleon, what type of vpn? [08:12] wow, I was putting in the wrong password [08:12] sorry again [08:12] np [08:12] Uh, there are types? I'm using pptpd on my server. [08:12] Is it safe to shrink my ubuntu partition then expand the ntfs by the amount I shrunk ubuntu???? gparted [08:12] jxxt: you cant expan a partition to the left [08:12] Aeleon, the built-in stuff with windows isn't quite standard conforming; it's possible to make it work, but not worth the time unless you have no choice in vpn packages [08:13] home is always kept on a sep. partition on linux by default? [08:13] Well, do you have any suggestions on something downloadable? OR is it more, uhm, is it deeper than that? [08:13] Aeleon, if you're using a third party package, there's more hope (assuming they support linux); my personal preference is openvpn, although I don't know if there's a tap driver for vista yet [08:13] doctor_thunder: not by default, although some think it ought to be. Always a good practice though [08:13] vasilisa, can I change the position of the partion?? [08:13] Aeleon, what are you trying to do? [08:13] I'll look it up, thanks cwillu. [08:13] jxxt: If you shrink a partition, you cant really do anything with the freed space other than turn it to a new partition.... [08:13] I'm actually trying to bypass my uni's firewall. [08:13] Aeleon, plain old ssh might get most of the way [08:13] jxxt: No :/ its pretty annoying... [08:14] cwillu, Ok... This is new ---> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51312/ [08:14] Aeleon, ssh has a built in socks proxy, which will probably do what you want without too many headaches [08:14] I can SSH successfully to my server, but I don't quite .. know what to do with it. There are 80 million ports I need to open if I want to use my MMOs & BT. [08:14] vasilisa, I messed up a dual boot now windows does not have enough room what to do?? [08:15] So, does Anyone know of public DNS servers I can use to fix my IPv6 Issue? [08:15] jxxt: You dont have enough room? how's your drive divvied up exactly? [08:15] cwillu, I used to think that if I could just SSH into my box, I could sort of, usurp my internet connection at home and do what i want with it at school. But I logged into my box from putty and was like "Now what?". [08:15] Aeleon, ssh -D 5000 hostname.com will open a socks proxy on port 5000; firefox can then use that to browse the web via the proxy (you need to set an about:config option as well if you want dns queries to go through the proxy (i.e., if the university blocks those as well)) [08:15] Aeleon, socks is your friend :p [08:16] cwillu, Ok... This is new ---> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51312/ And another oddity I'd like to mention is that my screenresolution keeps changing to a lower resolution and I have to manually change it back when WoW crashes... Normal? [08:16] 26gig for win the balance of a 60gig for linux and swap [08:16] cwillu, but if I'm trying to run bt & secondlife, for instance? second life needs like a billion ports, both tcp & udp. [08:16] Aeleon, openvpn would be my strongest recommendation if you needed a full vpn [08:16] Aeleon, use the bridging configuration === PupiDD_vm is now known as Zaungast [08:16] jxxt: 26 gigs isnt enough? Do you need to remove something from it? [08:16] Aeleon, it's a bit of setup, but nothing compared to what's required to set up a linux->windows pptp vpn [08:17] cwillu - Help everybody else, I can wait. :D [08:17] Aeleon, it's way more straightforward than it seems :p [08:17] mnemonica, hmm [08:17] cwillu: I've got an exam today, so if you're not available to baby-step me through this set-up, I can wait. [08:17] So, does anyone know how to fix the slow speeds caused by IPv6? [08:17] mnemonica, I might send you my config file [08:17] vasilisa, My daughters machine she has a huge amount of data and games [08:17] Turn it off? [08:17] mnemonica, I usually run wow in a window, which has historically saved me some grief [08:18] Well, I can always turn it off in mozilla, but the problem will still be there with my other apps [08:18] vasilisa, Maybe I need to reinstall and but the ubuntu on correctly this time [08:18] jxxt: Well in this case id say you just need to clear some room on it so it'll boot. You can access windows partitions in linux. [08:18] cwillu, Mmmk. I'm assuming you'd send it to me so I could replace the one that I have? And alright, if you think it'll work. [08:18] jxxt: Well you could reinstall ubuntu on a partition further to the right and then expand the windows one, yes [08:19] mnemonica, find your WTF/Config.wtf file [08:19] open it in gedit [08:19] and add these lines: [08:19] um [08:19] vasilisa, OK that sounds like a plan [08:19] one sec, I'll pastebin it :op [08:19] jxxt: But it's probably going to be just as easy to temporarily clean it up until you can add some space... [08:19] cwillu, where would that be? [08:19] jxxt: Just remember, partitions can only grow to the right, not left. [08:20] vasilisa, I have a 30gig usb drive I can throw some stuff on [08:20] "detlef@MD97600:~$ LANG=C sudo mv gnome-power-manager_2.20.0 /usr/src/; mv: cannot stat `gnome-power-manager_2.20.0': No such file or directory." What went wrong? [08:20] mnemonica, I added it to your last pastebin (make sure you delete those entries if they already exist before you add these ones) [08:20] cwillu, there isn't anything in the WTF folder except RunOnce.wtf [08:20] vasilisa, I will remember [08:20] mnemo, World of Warcraft/WTF/Config.wtf [08:20] jxxt: okie dokie [08:20] mnemonica, rather ^^^^ [08:20] ? [08:20] weird [08:20] okay [08:20] one sec [08:21] vasilisa, TY :-)) [08:21] jxxt: No prob, i know all this very well :P I cant tell you how long it took me to figure out fricking partitions [08:21] jxxt: xD [08:21] mnemonica, _create_ Config.wtf in that folder [08:21] mnemonica: run it with "wine WoW.exe -opengl" and it runs so much better [08:21] i installed xubuntu-desktop, and when i logged back into gnome, my title bar on all my windows is gone, can anyone help? [08:21] it wont crash [08:22] mnemonica: the directX backend is used default, and got worse support in wine, so use the opengl one [08:22] cwillu nope did not work, strange how not all log messages to tty's are logged [08:22] Hrm, how can i adjust my screen resolution? [08:22] mnemonica, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51313/ [08:22] cwillu, so go into WTF and create Config.wtf and paste your info in it? [08:22] mnemonica, make that the content of it [08:22] yes [08:22] mavi-, still doesn't work, buddy... We've been trouble shooting for a while... lol [08:23] mnemonica: the reslution thing is because wow crashes, it writes its settings on exit. [08:23] mnemonica: i had the same problem before [08:23] Okay can someone help me out here? Why are my videos not very good quality? [08:23] mavi-, we're experiencing a mesa error in addition to the usual -opengl solvable issues [08:23] oh [08:23] hi all [08:24] hes using mesa openGL? [08:24] cwillu, how do I create the config.wtf thing? [08:24] so are you unless you're running nvidia proprietary [08:24] i am [08:24] running nvidia that is [08:24] mavi-, nvidia is 'special' [08:24] vasilisa: what player do u use? [08:25] My viideos used to look so nice , and now they're all choppy and have lines through them....... [08:25] mavi-, but mesa is the opengl bindings for most other drivers [08:25] Johnny_5: Same thing whatever i use [08:25] mnemonica, cd to the config directory [08:25] Johnny_5: Kaffeine and vlc mainly [08:25] mnemonica, and then type gedit Config.wtf (use the capitalization) [08:25] hmm... [08:25] cwillu, /home/mnemonica/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft/WTF <--- Does that look like the right area? [08:26] something happened to me and I reported it as a bug, but maybe you can help me. When I enter a new keyboard shortcut in the deskbar applet options, it updates the new shortcut but keeps the old one active, without any possibility of removing it. Right now I have 4 keyboard shortcuts to focus on the deskbar search... anyone know how to solve this? [08:26] mnemonica, I'm getting google hits on that error you pasted me [08:26] vasilisa: try totem [08:26] mnemonica, yep [08:26] cwillu, cool. [08:26] Johnny_5: >.< Id like to know why vlc player used to look good but doesnt now. [08:26] Johnny_5: Ever since i reinstalled my OS [08:27] mnemonica, http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aunofficial&hs=ntq&q=ubuntu+Exceeded+max+nr+indirect+texture+lookups&btnG=Search&meta= [08:27] lol [08:27] vasilisa: could be a bad install... [08:27] mnemonica, Wow/Wine/Cursed Intel :p [08:27] Johnny_5: i think im missing packages [08:27] cwillu, Which means...? [08:27] vasilisa: did u install a 3-d driver? [08:28] mnemonica, somebody else went through pain and suffering :p [08:28] mnemonica, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-638885.html [08:28] Johnny_5: yeah the restricted drivers for ATI [08:28] vasilisa: i had a similar prob and that turned out to be the prob [08:28] I'll summarize my problem again for those that just entered the room: deskbar applet doesn't "forget" old keyboard shortcuts when entering new ones. [08:28] I have Logitech Pro 5000 Webcam, I installed the drivers from berlios, but for some reason, they seem to work only in Skype. Could you please recommend a video capture program? Is this a known issue with this camera? [08:28] vasilisa: uninstall it and try vlc again [08:29] does anyone know how to change the default workspace in eclipse [08:29] Johnny_5: Hmm.... I dont think so. [08:29] vasilisa: did u try it? [08:29] Johnny_5: It was doing this since i first started this install of Ubuntu [08:30] vasilisa: 7.10? [08:30] Johnny_5: yes, gutsy [08:30] cwillu, should I still use your config file? [08:30] vasilisa: did u try it anyway? [08:30] Johnny_5: It WAS looking good. I had to reinstall everything. Now it doesnt. [08:30] mnemonica, I'd say no, but keep a copy of it around [08:31] i installed xubuntu-desktop, and when i logged back into gnome, my title bar on all my windows is gone, can anyone help? [08:31] Johnny_5: NM. Its obviously a package of some sort... or something... the graphics look like every other line is missing or something [08:31] mnemonica, the SET gxApi "opengl" line does the same thing as the -opengl bit, so it'll be useful to remember that [08:31] mnemonica, d3d is the other option, which is the default if nothing is specified [08:31] cwillu, alright... so basically just use the directx install that is already on my system? [08:31] vasilisa: when i had the 3-d driver installed vlc was choppy and totem wouldn't do right and after i iuninstalled the driver everything worx fine [08:31] mnemonica, honestly, I don't know, but it sounds like he had success with that [08:32] cwillu, mmmk. [08:32] Johnny_5: If i uninstall the driver, how will i play second life xD [08:32] cwillu, wish me luck... lol [08:32] mnemonica, I've only played wow under wine with nvidia and radeon, not intel :p [08:32] (i.e., intel is the only 3d accelerated chipset I haven't tried with yet ;p) [08:33] vasilisa: ah...maybe just reinstall for gameplay and uninstall when u want to watch mavies or whatever...that's what i'd recomend.... === co_baZket is now known as visi [08:33] Johnny_5: ... meh, no way lol. Thanks though... [08:33] vasilisa: np [08:34] kl;['p/ [08:36] cwillu, didn't work... [08:38] If a program is not responding, how can i kill it? [08:39] ObeyRoy: kill [08:39] question: is it true that the software needed for watching commercial DVDs (codecs?) is not included in Ubuntu "out of the box"? [08:39] ObeyRoy: go to System>Administration>System Monitor, then processes tab [08:40] PID/ [08:40] PID? [08:40] are there any other skins for rhythmbox? [08:40] unless you wanted to do it cli [08:40] hello, i have apache server installed on my ubuntu , and i would like to give everyone premission to write files in the apache folder ? [08:40] ObeyRoy: process id, you can find it by typing "top" into a terminal, [08:41] ObeyRoy: the first process on the list should be the one that stopped responding [08:41] ObeyRoy: "q" to quit top [08:43] I'm having problems with samba user-level authentication on ubuntu server 7.10. I've added the user i'm trying to login with using sudo smbpasswd -L -a jords and sudo smbpasswd -L -e jords, but I can't log in still. Smb.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51317/ [08:44] Does the firefox-3.0 package overwrite firefox, or can I install both? It'd be quite cool to be able to test Fx3, but I don't want to lose Fx2 in the process. [08:44] i can't see my title bars and my terminal as all white, anyone help? [08:45] Ketsuban: you shou;d be able to install both [08:45] Alright, thanks. [08:45] yep [08:45] how can i give everyone full access to read & write files in my apache server folder ? [08:46] Why can't these "restricted extras", or whatever they are, to play commercial DVDs... be installed automatically as needed... after prompting the user... just like the Firefox plugins are...? [08:46] Guest16155: in terminal it would be chmod -R 777 /var/www [08:46] While I'm at it, does anyone know anything about some slightly annoying behaviour in Firefox? If I access a URL which returns an error (e.g. 403 Forbidden) and then try to modify the URL to access e.g. the parent folder, Firefox acts as if I didn't change the URL. [08:46] hey guys does anyone know if it is possible to stream my xvids to my 360 from ubuntu? [08:47] Guest16155: or perhaps put a sudo in front of that ;) [08:48] Wiseguy: Possibly with VLC, not sure what sort of streams the 360 can play. Still that's not going to be on demand with the full media libary avalible to view... even between computers the best/only solution for that i've found is samba or nfs [08:49] quick question... if I want to edit a file association in a file manager, but I need the command (cksfv) to run it with the specified directory it was clicked in, the syntax would be "cksfv -C /dir/name" so, if I was to edit the "Open With.." dialog, would I put "cksfv -C \w"? or what is the directory subsitution? %w? [08:50] <|ns|nR8> does your 360 have a media player that will stream [08:50] <|ns|nR8> that is the question [08:50] Also, why is gthumb an essential package (can't be removed without also removing ubuntu-desktop, which is basically required)? It seems a bit pointless to have both that and the regular image viewer. [08:51] [ns], my XBox with XBMC does :) [08:51] <|ns|nR8> does it only stream from http ? [08:51] Kesuban, I think gtumb plays animated gifs and the other doesnt [08:51] hi all [08:52] gthumb [08:52] Hello. I got a load of "1.00 1.00 1.00" on a nearly idle machine for more than 50 hours now. This is a vmstat line "1 0 7776 79244 7980 82032 0 0 0 12 1793 735 0 0 100 0", this the output of `top`: http://pastebin.ca/844996 -- How can I find out what causes this suspicious exact load of 1.00? [08:52] [ns], nope... I stream via samba [08:52] Ketsuban, I think gthumb plays animated gifs and the other doesnt [08:52] kded (kubuntu gutsy gibbon) is running wild (100% for hours). All the web could not help. Any suggestions how to calm kded down? [08:52] "detlef@MD97600:~$ LANG=C sudo mv gnome-power-manager_2.20.0 /usr/src/; mv: cannot stat `gnome-power-manager_2.20.0': No such file or directory." What went wrong? [08:54] jxxt: that's a really really bad reason to keep redundant utilities around. [08:56] hello there, I have a problem with my 7.10 , ati drivers and compiz [08:56] who can help me about that subject [08:56] thanks [08:57] ihancioglu: what is your problem specifically?

[09:38] szero yeh but that doesnt have any "stop screensaver when using full screen app" settings [09:38] yes it is also eating a lot of CPU [09:38] I am just trying to look at the small games that came with the installation of ubuntu [09:38] But they are not on the menu [09:38] sn00zer: i found a xinelib i needed, but i think i still need the libdvdcss file, now i get the error "media stream scrambled/encrypted" [09:38] I can't connected to the access point and internet by using D-LINK DWL-G122 [09:39] szero, huh... never seen that error, but i don't think i have any encrypted dvd's [09:39] I just installed suse a week ago, everything was perfect [09:39] did you try "put display to sleep when inactive for:" area? [09:39] I thnk the problem is on ATI drivers [09:39] im trying to watch a dvd i rented from a movie store heh [09:39] szero: try installling libdvdcss from medibuntu [09:40] hallo, i have a wireless netcard (Ralink RT2561/RT61) but it dosn't work. I have try lots of guides a try compile the ralink rt61 module but i give a error. (i use ubuntu 7.10 and the card works in 7.04) [09:40] an OT noob question: can you combine memory with Cas 4 with Cas 5? [09:40] szero: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [09:40] that's fixed all my dvd playing problems [09:40] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51326/ [09:41] yes here the xconf file [09:41] anyone? [09:41] heya - can someone tell me a good way to take just the first line of stdin? [09:41] seems ubuntu 7.10 doesn't support many wireless card, my DWL-G122 D-LINK also doesn't work well [09:41] hey i'm having a huge problem with my memory [09:42] i'm only running rtorrent [09:42] and i only have 5mb of mem left [09:42] there is gui [09:42] jords, ok thanks, ill give that a shot [09:42] and it's over ssh [09:42] that doesn't seem right to me [09:42] ... [09:42] aszwet1: run 'top'in a terminal and see what's eating your machine [09:43] i see lots of things yereth, but i'm not sure which ones i need and which ones i don't need [09:44] the only programs i need are openssh-server rtorrent, whatever runs nfs, and all the dependencies for that, yereth, how do i know what has to be on [09:45] aszwet1: is your machine slowing down? [09:45] how did I get in here form a tor node [09:45] i'm connecting via ssh so i really can't tell, but i know that it should have those kind of stats [09:46] well, as far as I know, linux reserves your memory anyway.. it just tries to maximise its use, I think [09:47] ihancioglu: i don't know what else to tell you, the only thing different in my setup that i've seen to make a difference is the xgl, i would try sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl and maybe a reboot, if that doesn't work you can uninstall it with sudo aptitude remove xserver-xgl [09:47] anybody know how to change the filesystem permission to read and write? please answer. [09:47] the hole filesystem? [09:47] OK , I will do it [09:48] yes [09:48] I will give you a result [09:48] mount -o remount,rw /mountpoint [09:48] the whole filesystem [09:48] ok [09:48] will remount the fs with rw enabled [09:48] aszwet1: vmstat -S m [09:49] Is there some better radio station? [09:49] to jonathan_ that is [09:49] what does that do squegie [09:49] aszwet1: it will give you an accurate showing of how much memory you're using, how much is swapped, and how much is free [09:49] mount -o remount,rw /mountpoint are the code to change the filesystem permissions? [09:49] aszwet1: you want linux to use all your memory, that means it have all memory to hand out to processes [09:50] jonathan_: its the command to remount the filesystem with read-write yes [09:51] mavi- : mount: can't find /mountpoint in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [09:51] you need to point it to your actual mount point. [09:51] jonathan_: replace "/mountpoint" with the actual mount point of the filesystem [09:51] I want to save the audio from a video so I can edit it in audacity. file/container formats don't matter as long as I can hear it properly in audacity. any help? (#VideoLAN isn't awake) :-) [09:52] jonathan_: that is, if its /media/fs that you cant write to, do mount -o remount,rw /media/fs [09:53] oh.. I understand, seems I can't write the whole filesystem, but I can write some folders? [09:53] jonathan_: you may also need to add "-o umask=0000" to enable writing to some filesystems (FAT/FAT32 was what I had the problem with) [09:53] jords, after you did that were new updates available? [09:53] jonathan_: is it a removeable disk? [09:54] jonathan_: or a internal harddrive? [09:54] jonathan_: You can mount an entire fs read-only, and if it was mounted ro, then what mavi says will remount it in a writeable state [09:54] mavi-: filesystem [09:54] !pastebin [09:54] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [09:54] if you can write to some but not all on the FS its just the permissions [09:55] squegie, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51328/ [09:55] that's what it said squegie [09:57] mavi-, so you think that this vmstat output is good: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51328/? [09:57] anyone here use and know how to configure pure-ftpd? [09:57] mavi-, so you think that this vmstat output is good: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51328/ ? === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [09:59] aszwet1: that's probably about right. the kernel will consume almost all memory, but your "active memory" is only about 50MB [10:00] you have over 300MB of inactive memory [10:00] so that memorie can still be used then squegie? [10:01] jords and sn00zer: got it working, thanks for the help guys [10:01] aszwet1: correct. if you use vmstat, you can keep on eye on your active/inactive memory. [10:01] szero: no problem [10:02] squegie ok :) thanx, that's more reassuring then no knowing that lol. so what is the difference between free memory and inactive memory? [10:04] hello everyone, so I have ubuntu on my laptop and I had forgotten my charger. I had forgotten to check what percentage I was at when my laptop sudden turned off. Once I plugged my charger in and came back to ubuntu, my desktop was blank except for the CD which I had in. ANy help? [10:05] aszwet1: free memory is what the kernel hasn't claimed yet from the system. the kernel basically will claim memory from the system first and programs will request memory from the kernel. this is done for speed [10:05] Really silly question: in man pages when they say for exaple: refer to man cron(5) , what is the (5) part? [10:05] tanlaan: try pressing alt+f2 and then type killall -9 nautilus and see if your desktop reloads [10:06] thejaba: some man pages have multiple sections [10:06] aszwe1: the old way: app requests memory from kernel, kernel requests memory from system, kernel receives memory, kernel allocates memory received to programs [10:06] thejaba: man 1 is usually program syntax [10:06] how do i look at those sections? [10:06] thejaba: but there could be another manpage to documnet the use of a library for example [10:06] thejaba: man 5 foobar [10:06] i have a problem with a crontab and i can't figure out how to look at the right section [10:06] aahh [10:06] thejaba: or man 8 foobar [10:06] 2 ticks [10:06] thejaba: 'man man' is your friend :) [10:06] lol [10:06] you legend [10:06] :) [10:06] thanks! [10:07] youre welcome [10:07] i was doing man crontab 5 [10:07] that's been bugging me for aaaages [10:07] !man [10:07] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [10:07] squegie ok :) that makes alot more sense now :) so basically i don't have to worry about running out of memory if i'm just gonna be running ssh and rtorrent? [10:07] oooh, that's clever [10:07] kling0n: nope, it did restart but it restarted in the same exact way [10:07] thanks kling0n! [10:07] tanlaan: did you boot the machine or just restart x ? [10:08] kling0n: what do you mean? [10:08] im having some sound issues with alsa and an intel driver--ive gone through the sound troubleshooting guide only to lose the driver (which apparently was installed before)... sound worked fine for 7 months or so, and then one day--poof... anyone care to lend me a hand? [10:08] aszwet1: i would say not. granted, if you loaded up a million torrents or so, you might push your luck. however, i think you would run out of bandwidth before you reached your memory limit :-) [10:08] tanlaan: oh, so nautilus restarted ... sorry read you wring there [10:08] *wrong [10:08] tanlaan: did you hvae anything open that you didn't sav ? [10:09] *save [10:09] blacklines: are you using a laptop? [10:09] kling0n: firefox, but that shouldn't affect my desktop [10:09] why i can't login my QQ? who can help me,please? [10:09] gunashekar, yes [10:09] aszwet1: you generally don't ahve to worry too much about memory usage in linux... memory management is quite good [10:09] tanlaan: ok [10:09] hi [10:09] gunashekar, a dell inspiron 1150 (if it matters) [10:09] which one may i know blacklines [10:09] tanlaan: press ctrl+alt-backspace to kill X [10:10] ok [10:10] PLSshowyourhelp: your 'QQ' ?? === AzAel is now known as SarraHH [10:10] kling0n: alright, but this isn't the first time I've been on since the "incident" its the second time [10:10] PLSshowyourhelp: what do you mean ? [10:10] gunashekar, any suggestions? [10:10] blacklines: i suggest you join #alsa room [10:11] kling0n:QQ in pidgin [10:11] kling0n: I'll brb [10:11] gunashekar, thanks--Ill do that [10:11] blacklines: there usually are ppl there who can walk u through a solution [10:11] does anyone know what the UUID in Fs tab means? [10:11] cool [10:11] PLSshowyourhelp: try describing your problem in #pidgin [10:12] can someone please help me with this problem, i cannot copy/paste files in the file browser [10:12] its a big issue [10:12] kling0n: ok [10:12] does anybody know what might have caused my apple bluetooth keyboard to start lagging? [10:12] tanlaan: any differences? [10:12] kling0n: That didn't work [10:12] im using gnome's file browser [10:12] it was working just like a wired USB keyboard before and now it just has this delay :/ [10:12] tanlaan: hmm [10:12] I replaced the batteries... [10:12] tanlaan: what is in your ~/.xsession-errors file ? [10:12] no software changes I can think of [10:13] tanlaan: it could be necessary to kill gconfd [10:13] anyone here use pureftpd? [10:13] between restarts of the X session [10:13] tanlaan: did you try a fulll reboot ?

[10:15] Someone, please help me set up network in Ubuntu with a fixed IP like this 192.168.0!.XXX (Ubuntu seems to be incompatable with "0" in IPs. Every time I set my IP to 192.168.0.88 - I get "Network is unreachable". Abd same responce even if I rty to ping another computer on network with a "0" in ti's IP). Please help fix it. [10:16] tanlaan: but it's pretty much guesswork unless I get some log output [10:16] Sergemine: Go to _System_ menu [10:16] Sergemine: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.88 [10:16] i want to get help about ddclient.conf, if i am on wrong place, tell me. my ddclient.conf is here " http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51330/ " i dont want to use crontab for updating, how to update after 120 minutes [10:16] * kling0n goes afk [10:16] kling0n: http://pastebin.ca/847855 [10:16] Question: How do I update my graphics card? Running 7.10 with Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [10:17] Or what, even, should I update it with...? Having some issues in WoW. Graphics are screwy. [10:18] Is therea way to set Ubuntu up with a fixed IP like this: 192.168.0.88 ??? [10:18] mnemo: In System --> Administration --> Restricted Drivers Manager, do you see any drivers for your graphics card? [10:18] Sergemine: System --> Administration --> Network [10:19] tanlaan: just to clarify: you have no icons on the desktop. Can you see the gnome panel? can you see the wallpeper? [10:19] *paper [10:19] mactimes, doesn't work with "0" in IP [10:19] Sergemine: Set your connection to _Static IP Address_ [10:19] kling0n: I see absolutely everything fine, the normal icons have just been deleted, my CD even shows up *which is in my drive* [10:19] Sergemine: Enter your IP, subnet mask and gatewar [10:20] Sergemine: Then run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [10:20] Sergemine: That should do it. [10:20] tanlaan: hmm that doesn't make a lot of sense to me... you can see everything but the icons are wrong/missing? or what? [10:21] kling0n: its as if I had selected my home, and my computer icons and just deleted them [10:21] hmm [10:21] ok [10:21] mactimes, tryed that. but it doesn't work if IP includes a 0 !! [10:21] Sergemine: Sure it works. That's how I use it here. [10:21] hi [10:22] tanlaan: are the files gone from your ~/Desktop directory? [10:22] how do I do ext3 online resize? [10:22] mactimes, do you? you have a fixed IP with 0 ??? [10:22] Sergemine: I'll give you step by step once again. Just try to keep up. [10:22] kling0n: yup, I've got nothing on my desktop [10:22] kling0n: err, in my Desktop [10:22] tanlaan: and if you open the desktop as a folde in nautlus? [10:22] ok [10:22] tanlaan: hmm [10:22] hi [10:22] kling0n: yea thats what I meant [10:23] Sergemine: System -> Administration -> Network / If you have multiple network adapters, disable all you won't use, by setting their state to roaming. [10:23] tanlaan: any files missing? or just the shortcuts? [10:23] can I blacklist a driver module in the dapper install boot menu so it doesn't load? [10:23] mactimes, I did everything like you said, but "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [10:23] Sergemine: Select the adapter you want to configure, disable roaming, set state to static ip address and configure [10:23] kling0n: Shortcuts, I don't use my desktop for files [10:23] Sergemine: So do it and you shall have it done [10:23] tanlaan: ok... you could just recreate them then [10:24] Sergemine: You can do that or reboot the computer [10:24] tanlaan: or perhaps try to run fsck to check for inode errors [10:24] mactimes, what is the "roaming mode" ? [10:24] anyone know how to change port on pureftpd? [10:24] tanlaan: sudo tune2fs -C 21 /dev/hda1 will schedule fsck to run on next startup [10:25] Sergemine: It seems that it disables configuration for that specific network adapter. [10:25] Sergemine: Got it running now? [10:25] acidfire2008: i'd try looking in the config file [10:25] kling0n: alright, so you want me to restart and run fsck? [10:25] ive tried [10:25] its confusing [10:25] tanlaan: well, if the shortcuts disappeared you might have a disc error of sorts [10:25] some places say i need to make my own files etc [10:25] kling0n: alright, I'll brb [10:25] mactimes, not yet. Thank you. will be back soon. [10:25] tanlaan: there might be some arcane setting for automatically showing shortcuts ofcourse [10:26] Sergemine: Roger that. [10:26] tanlaan: in which case i'm not aware (yet) where it's placed [10:26] tanlaan: sudden changes like that would make me do a file system check as first thing though [10:26] kling0n: oh, thats odd... [10:27] kling0n: it isn't finding my other partition, and it gave me an error saying it couldn't find /dev/hda1 [10:27] a JSP question: I installed Apache/Tomcat5.5 and things are loaded, but .jsp pages are shown as if plain text files... dont' see anything weird in the error.log... ideas? [10:27] tanlaan: you should adjust depending on your disk layout [10:27] kling0n: well crap, I think I might need to reinstall =/ [10:27] has anyone tried to dual boot ubuntu on a vista hdd [10:27] tanlaan, what about ls /dev/hd* [10:27] tanlaan: output of 'mount' should show you what the correct device nam eis [10:27] schnootop: yes [10:27] *name [10:28] tanlaan: reinstalling should not be necessary [10:28] egonw, do you need to do anything special or is it still straight forward ? [10:28] tanlaan: just about anything can be fixed :) [10:28] schnootop: I have already tried. Worked fine for me. [10:28] schnootop: Until I decided to remove Vista =) [10:28] schnootop: make sure to create a good partition first, then install Vista, then Ubuntu [10:29] (re)partitioning after Vista installed, made Vista unbootable... [10:29] kling0n: apparently my root is running on /dev/sda3 so I changed the tune2fs thing and then it outputted "Setting current moutn count to 21" [10:29] tanlaan: perfect [10:29] tanlaan: it should run fsck on next restart then [10:29] kling0n: alright, I'll brb after restart [10:30] i want to get help about ddclient.conf, if i am on wrong place, tell me. my ddclient.conf is here " http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51330/ " i dont want to use crontab for updating, how to update after 120 minutes [10:30] egonw, its on a laptop. i want to partition a vista enabled drive already :( [10:31] schnootop: not sure about that... the IT department had removed Vista on my laptop, wanting to reinstall XP, to discover that there were no suitable drivers :) so installed Ubuntu myself, and added Vista later again [10:31] schnootop: Repartition de disc (using partition magic or some sort of tool) then install Ubuntu. [10:31] schnootop: there should be no problem partitioning, partition magic or something first [10:31] kling0n: I'm not quite sure if it ran... [10:31] yeah i thought that is what i might need to do mactimes [10:31] ah, as mactimes says!!! [10:32] kling0n: It didn't go out of Splash to run it *like usual* [10:32] tanlaan: hmm perhaps it will run on 22nd mount [10:32] tanlaan: can't actually remember [10:32] you could set mount count to 200 to be sure :) [10:32] tanlaan: i'm going afk a bit bbl [10:32] Hi...

[10:40] yes jack [10:40] hi, the latest ati driver doesn't recoqnize my 1680x1050 resolution, it a known issue in the release notes, so i have to do it manually, I tried entering the solution in xorg.conf but it isn't recognized, any help? [10:40] Ntemis: Is this for a backup? [10:41] hello [10:41] i want to format it after i get the files [10:41] anyone use linux mint? [10:42] Ntemis: Sorry I came in late... My concern is changing permissions on all those files when you could perhaps cause yourself problems later. [10:42] Hi [10:42] If you are trying to save your /home .. you should apready have permission to do so. [10:43] I've done something very stupid and need help [10:43] after ubuntu auto mounted my mp3 player [10:44] shyal: Let us know as clearly as you can what you did.. and see who can help [10:44] I set the filesystem type as 'iaudio' [10:44] when I rebooted and plugged it in again [10:44] I got this message [10:44] the volume 'IAUDIO' uses the iaudio file system which is not supported by your system. [10:44] whats the command to make a directory? [10:45] md? [10:45] mkdir [10:45] thanks [10:45] how can I "echo" all text output from a program into a textfile? [10:45] hi [10:45] am I right in thinking this is being managed by gnome-volume-manager [10:45] how do I check ownership of a file? [10:45] l3dx: /path/to/program > output.txt [10:46] tylerjgillies: thanks :) [10:46] l3dx: thats stdout to get error messages add 2>&1 to the end of that line [10:46] nvictor: ls -l should give you long description for files/directories [10:46] sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt would be a working example [10:46] hal-device-manager is no help [10:46] nore is gnome-volume-properties [10:46] thanks [10:47] shyal: what brand of player is this? [10:47] iaudio X5 (cowon) [10:47] and it was automounting, and I stupidly set the filesystem type to iaudio [10:48] how about remove directory? [10:48] how do i turn off kdewallaet in ubuntu 7.1? [10:48] shawnmstout: rmdir myemptydirectory [10:48] how do i turn off/uninstall kdewallet in ubuntu 7.1? [10:48] shawnmstout: To remove a non-empty directory and all subcontent you can do rm -r mynonemptydirectory [10:48] shyal: Are you looking to use gparted or a cli tool to reformat it to fat or whatever it was? [10:48] phi_: #kubuntu would probably know, this is mostly gnome users [10:49] jack_sparrow: no I just want to mount it.. and access my files [10:49] isnt ubuntu 7.1 gnome? [10:49] phi_: You should be able to use synaptic to remove/uninstall it [10:49] phi_: no, ubuntu is a linux distro. gnome is a window manager [10:50] shyal: Like the error says it isnt a supported file system [10:50] um yeah 'iaudio' isn't a filesystem at all [10:50] I think it's vfat [10:50] and it was working [10:50] until I set it as 'iaudio' file system... [10:50] and now I'd like to unset that [10:51] shyal: sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt and see what it shows, use pastebin to post it for me. [10:52] Jack_Sparrow, are you in America? [10:52] yes [10:52] you are pirate? [10:52] tylerjgillies: Hi, technically, gnome is the desktop and compiz is the window manager.... [10:52] thankx jack sparrow [10:52] jack_sparrow: http://pastebin.com/m3dbbc03a [10:52] shyal: np [10:53] N: No [10:53] are you pirate? good [10:53] shyal: Checking now [10:53] Jack_Sparrow: i don't use compiz. and you're right metacity is my window manager [10:54] if i use a mv * /etc and there are different files in there will it just add to the files in /etc or when it has the different folders will it overwrite the folders instead of writing the new files to the subfolders in that directory [10:54] i hope i was clear in explaining that [10:54] tylerjgillies: Not trying to split hairs... [10:54] Jack_Sparrow: well, would be anyway if i used gnome. i use xfce personally [10:54] jack_sparrow: I'm pretty sure my player is on 'sdc1' [10:54] thanks mac [10:54] i must restart [10:54] so no one know? [10:54] shyal: good news.. it is still fat format on that player [10:54] Ntemis: you're welcome =) [10:54] cause kubuntu channel not saying anything [10:55] phi_: One sec [10:55] !find kdewallet [10:55] Package/file kdewallet does not exist in gutsy [10:55] probably would have done my mp3 collection a favour by formatting it [10:55] :p [10:56] phi_: do you know the package name for kdewallet? [10:56] phi_: I have not used kde in a long time.. but it should still use apt-get remove [10:56] jack_sparrow: how can I eradicate the 'iaudio' filesystem option which is somewhat attached to sdc1? [10:56] I'm trying to get this program to work. But it needs glibc2.7.... Where can i get it? [10:57] shyal: What is giving you that error? or is iaudio just a mount point [10:57] billenium: What program are you trying to install [10:58] jack_sparrow: if you have an automounted disk on your desktop, and you right click, and hit properties [10:58] Does anyone know ChristopherGiroir [10:58] you get the disk properties [10:59] !seen ChristopherGiroir [10:59] then if you click on the 'drive' tab, and hit 'settings' you can set the file system type [10:59] shyal: and under volume..file system it shows..? [10:59] !seen [10:59] The seen function has not been operational for a long time. Use /msg seenserv seen nickname instead. [11:00] well the same kind of settings, still empty [11:00] now the problem is I can't get this window up for my player [11:00] because it first needs to be mounted... [11:00] Im not sure if this is his alias however [11:00] but it won't mount it.. because I set some stupid values in there last time [11:00] shyal: do the same thing again but put in there vfat [11:01] jack_sparrow: that's the problem, I can't! [11:01] jack_sparrow: I can't get that window up.. need to mount the volume first [11:01] jack_sparrow: but it can't be mounted anymore [11:02] shyal: Could you pastebin this for me cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/fstab.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) [11:02] Jack_Sparrow: Acovel [11:02] version 0.01 [11:02] jack_sparrow: thanks http://pastebin.com/m731b65ca [11:03] Jack_Sparrow: can i download glibc2.7? or do i have to wait for the new Ubuntu to come out [11:03] jack_sparrow: but I don't think it's stored it in fstab === phi_ is now known as pheebz [11:04] Hi all. [11:05] ok, so i installed ubuntu on my laptop, which has an ati driver [11:05] and i've been attempting to get xinerama to work [11:05] anyone have ideas as to why i can't use multiple monitors? [11:06] tylerjgillies: test [11:06] linuxfce, i'd advise against ircing from the root account :) [11:06] you just had to go an announce it [11:06] everyone saw it [11:06] when you joined. [11:06] Commensing hack attack... [11:07] *beep beep* [11:07] 03:06 -!- linuxfce [n=root@cpe-76-170-222-250.socal.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu [11:07] using the root account on irc isnt very dangerous if you use a proxy [11:07] shyal: Agreed.. not in there...I assume you have shut down removed it, restarted and reinserted it to see if it sautomounts correctly [11:07] you act like i didnt know this [11:07] jack_sparrow: absolutely [11:08] topicks: shut up [11:08] shyal: so. fstab shows vfat but properties under the mount show iaudio... [11:09] billenium: Not trying to ignore you but I was trying to see if I could help him first [11:09] what's the best way to restart X when i'm testing new xorg configs? [11:09] yeah well fdisk recons it's fat apparently [11:09] Intelligitimate: ctrl+alt+backspace [11:09] but yes when I plug it in I get thisi error about iaudio fs not being supported [11:09] inertial: stop the gdm service and use startx in stead [11:10] inertial: i meant that for you [11:10] inertial: from console: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [11:10] Jack_Sparrow: no problem, im patient =) [11:10] tylerjgillies and kling0n both of yours have the same effect of restarting X? tylerjgillies's is faster [11:10] tylerjgillies: restarts x [11:10] meh. [11:11] inertial: using startx from console will give you output that can be used to fix errors (if you encoutner any) [11:11] encounter [11:11] inertial: ctrl-alt-backspace is faster. but some feel it is less safe [11:12] * tylerjgillies didn't start using linux because he wanted to feel safe ;) [11:12] inertial: Less cleanly shutdown might be a better term [11:12] thanks Jack_Sparrow === selinuxium_ is now known as selinuxium [11:12] kling0n: it's not a completely fatal problem, so the output isn't that important.. [11:12] tylerjgillies: You probably didnt want to feel clean either [11:13] I have a problem. My soundcard seased to work. There is no hw problem. It is rather new notebook. Soundcard is from intel. Fully supported. Alsa-utils are running. Perhaps proper module isn't loaded. Which one is it? Could someone help? [11:13] Jack_Sparrow: nope ;D [11:13] i'm using the ati 8.42.2 drivers and X is really slow ie moving windows aroudn leaves trails [11:13] and i can't use 8.42.3 because it breaks 1690x1050 :( [11:13] *1680 [11:13] linux doesn't like ati cards a whole lot :( [11:14] ATI doesn't like linux actually [11:14] thats what i meant [11:14] well i bought one because ever since amd bought them they said they were going to open source the code.. [11:14] jack_sparrow: should I try the mailing list? [11:14] shyal: I dont want to have you do something that I am not sure will fix that.. I have never had anyone do something like that.. and I am not sure how to fix it at this point. I would think mounting it with force might let you in.. [11:14] linux not liking the cards is a result of ati not supporting linux for their cards [11:15] i think the support is getting better? they're releasing an updated driver every month now [11:15] Belisarivs: is it an ND sound card [11:15] hd === d31` is now known as d31`home [11:16] !hdaudio [11:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about hdaudio - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:16] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) [11:16] yes [11:16] jack_sparrow: ok no worries, indeed it's obscure [11:16] it was working properly [11:16] Belisarivs: I know there was a factoid on those.. [11:16] jack_sparrow: thanks for your help, learned a couple of things along the way [11:17] shyal: that is a good thing... sorry I wasnt more help [11:17] excuse me I installed a command line ubuntu, then xorg, gnome and gdm but now I can't configure my video card. If I type dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg there is no entry for a video card (only for mouse and keybord settings). Do you know how can I solve my problem? [11:18] I have toshiba satellite a210-16 with ubuntu. Can I somehow help and f.e report support with it? [11:19] Belisarivs: See if this is relevant.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/85869 [11:20] jack_sparrow: I found it! [11:20] shyal: great news [11:20] 'gconf-editor' [11:20] shyal: I would never have thought to look in there [11:21] jack_sparrow: once in there, under /system/storage/drives/ [11:21] davide: May we assume you used sudo dpkg-reconfigure etc... [11:21] jack_sparrow: so thanks to this I've learnt 3 new things today [11:21] cheers for help [11:21] np === nfree is now known as nfree-ubuntu [11:23] Jack_Sparrow, you mean with "sudo"? Yes, I used it. [11:23] good bye [11:24] davide: Did you look at xorg with nano to see what it shows if anything? [11:24] davide: I am assuming you only have cli on that box. [11:24] I read through that article. I'll try to reboot to see whether it works. [11:24] Belisarivs: good luck [11:24] !intelhd [11:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about intelhd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:24] Jack_Sparrow, no, I have a GUI, too [11:25] Sorry for the botabuse. [11:25] Thanks guys. [11:25] np [11:25] Jack_Sparrow: I have to go now, my time has nearly ran up. I did some research and it looks like there is nothing i can do. [11:25] davide: Please post your xorg to the pastebin... [11:25] Jack_Sparrow, sure. [11:26] billenium: maybe come back and I can give you more time [11:27] Jack_Sparrow, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51332/ It seems that the video options are empty. [11:27] 3:20 am here, sorry for the bad grammar [11:27] ciao a tutti [11:27] Jack_Sparrow, oh =P, i have to go to school. Thanks =P [11:28] billenium: catch me later... I will see what I can do [11:28] c'e' qualcuno [11:28] peace [11:28] csisicilia, se vuoi c'è il canale italiano (digita "/join #ubuntu-it" per partecipare) [11:28] ok grazie [11:28] thanks davide [11:29] i use ubuntu 7.10 and cant use wine with my GFcard , how could i get the settings, i also want to use the compiz at the same time [11:29] hello [11:29] csisicilia: So.. dpkg-reconfigure xserver gave you no video card options? [11:29] anyone know what the best irc file server is ? [11:29] Jack_Sparrow, yes exaclty [11:30] dandand: #winehq will have more info. but if you are looking to run any high end games under wine.. compiz would work [11:31] Jack_Sparrow, it just quits when has configured keyboard and mouse options [11:31] davide: May I ask .. if you ever tried to use automatix? [11:31] does anyone know what device nodes should appear in /dev for a SATA hard disk connected to a PCI SATA adapter (adapter presence causes libata and sata_via modules to be loaded at boot) [11:31] Jack_Sparrow, no, I don't know it. Shall I try? [11:32] davide: Not that it is a good idea, but it has caused some odd problems like this [11:32] davide: I was mostly trying to make sure you had not. [11:32] Jack_Sparrow, ah, ok. No, I have not. [11:33] argh [11:33] It works. But it is weird. I have applet to adjust volume in gnome. It was grayed (although set to max) so I moved with slider in applet, it turned black and voice appeared. [11:34] I've gone there before ,because "wine" make my computer freeze. [11:34] someone there guss it about the GFcard's problem , so i asked here [11:34] Belisarivs: so it sorta works now? [11:34] I use ti4200. i want to know the driver setting so that the wine wont go error. [11:35] dandand: If you turn off compiz the problem goes away? [11:35] davide: I am still trying to figure out your problem.. not trying to ignore you. [11:36] it would be the same condition,freeze! [11:36] hello , i have 2 computer at home on local network, 1 with windows-xp and 1 with ubuntu , when i type on windows \\192.168.0.77 (the ubuntu local ip) i get box of username & password but when i typed my username & password its not working ? [11:36] My bluetooth keyboard and mouse don't work until I log in and run sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart on Gutsy. How can I fix this? [11:37] Jack_Sparrow, ok, no worries! Thank you! I have an other perfectly working linux partition installed on my computer, can I just copy the xorg.conf file from there? [11:37] davide: You should be able to... [11:38] what linux module causes 'sda' to appear in /dev ? [11:38] dandand: Is your version of wine installed from the ubuntu repos? [11:38] How many kbps is an audio cassette? [11:39] How should I report a bug in the documentation of a man page? [11:39] LetsGo67: However many you sample it at. [11:39] Guest16155: are you tying a username and password that exists on the ubuntu pc? [11:39] LetsGo67: I would not thing it would be a very high rate [11:40] Anyone know how many kbps the thing is recorded at? [11:40] LetsGo67: However many you record it at. [11:41] LetsGo67: Audio cassettes are analog. [11:41] LetsGo67: It could have been recoreded at any rate, the hardware only supports a set rate... [11:41] erpo, no, I am talking about the music label dudes. [11:41] here are some error message after i type "winecfg" in the Terminal [11:41] Xlib: extension "GLX" miss on display ":O.O" [11:41] err:wgl:X11 DRV_Wine GL_InitOpenglInfo couldn't initialize OPGL, expect problem [11:41] LetsGo67: Perhaps you are confusing kbps with kHz? [11:41] dandand: Is your version of wine installed from the ubuntu repos? [11:41] erpo, no. [11:41] erpo, CD is something like 1440kbps. [11:42] hi [11:42] LetsGo67: CD is 44.1kHz at 16 bits per channel and (typically) two channels. [11:42] what is the command to see my software sources? [11:42] i install wine through "Synpatic" [11:42] wine 0.9.52 [11:42] CD audio has a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz (44100 samples per second) [11:43] darlord: cat /etc/apt/sources.list [11:43] thnx [11:43] Okay, what about tape? What is that kHz? [11:43] LetsGo67: But audio cassette is analog. [11:43] LetsGo67: You just said that you weren't confusing kHz with kbps. Did you change your mind? [11:43] hahaha [11:43] erpo, so the only way to rip tape to Vorbis/Flac is to plug it in the line in? [11:44] LetsGo67: I never said anything like that. But that's how I do it. [11:44] speeds (10–17 kB/s for data rate) on each audio cassette [11:44] Audio casette is analog. This means no kHz, because it isn't sampled as on CD [11:44] anyone have any experience with virtualising linux? i want to run a sandpit-desktop and a web server (not high load, just svn and 3 or 4 peoples home pages) on 2 seperate linuxes on the same P3 866 [11:44] Everyone, I just need help to select the quality that I should select when ripping to flacs. [11:45] LetsGo67: FLAC should always reproduce the audio perfectly. It's lossless. [11:45] has anyone seen a cure to the suspend issue where u cannot resume from suspend or hibernate in gutsy ? [11:45] is there any way for someone to change the system log contents? [11:45] and is ubuntu server for me in this cae? [11:45] erpo, FLAC, but at what kbps/khz should I select? [11:45] *case [11:45] LetsGo67: None. FLAC doesn't work that way. [11:46] LetsGo67: go with 44.1 and oversample it [11:46] LetsGo67: FLAC is like ZIP. What goes in is exactly what comes out. You can hope for small files but you get no real control. [11:47] LetsGo67: What tool are you using to create flacs? [11:47] Any way to remove the latest updates? World of Warcraft stopped functioning properly after them... [11:47] Jack_Sparrow: theres a command called "flac" [11:47] Jack_Sparrow: which lets you encode directly from raw pcm [11:48] kling0n: But that does not mean he is using that command and not a gui tool to create the flacs.. [11:48] Jack_Sparrow: true [11:48] Ximal, after i installed pm-utils i can do hibernation and suspend [11:49] Jack_Sparrow: you could use audacity or ardour if you prefer [11:49] so just do sudo apt-get install pm-utils ? [11:49] yup [11:49] audacity to record the sound and the post-processing in ardour if needed [11:49] thank u... but what is pm utils pckages / [11:49] Ximal, thats are scripts [11:49] kling0n: That was my reason for the question. If he is using a gui tool that is asking for the sampling rate and he enters the rate for a CD he will be sampling at a rate greater than the original recording [11:50] dunno what but it helps me to do hibernation and suspend normally [11:50] thanks m8.. appreciateit tyczek [11:50] Jack_Sparrow, I've replaced the xorg.conf file, but when rebooting X didn't work anymore. So I reconfigure again xorg, but with the same problems... so nothing better here. [11:50] Ximal, dunno if it'll work at your side [11:50] u' will know in a moment [11:50] davide: that is too wierd. something serious is going on on that partition/install... [11:51] Okay, guys, if I can choose between cassette and CD, which should I take? [11:51] Jack_Sparrow: that doesn't matter too much since what you have on the tape is a analog recording thus no inherent sample rate.. the main criteria for your choice of sample rate should be what quality you want to keep the digital version in balanced against what you can expect from the tape recording [11:51] Is there ANY way I can ENCRYPT my whole hdd while isntalling ubuntu?! [11:51] kling0n: We are saying exactly the same thing... [11:52] How do you install use those scripts? Just do regular suspend or you have to call them from terminal? [11:52] Jack_Sparrow: that's great :) [11:52] Belisarivs, regular :) [11:52] -install +use [11:52] heh.. just noticed that it wasn't actually you trying to do the recording :) [11:52] Belisarivs, i just do apt-get install pm-utils [11:52] kling0n: If he goes with cassette.. he will get a smaller file. if he goes with cd he may waste some file space but be sure he has not lost anything in translation [11:52] pardon me :) [11:52] and it worked after it [11:52] I was wondering when you would lol [11:53] Jack_Sparrow: true [11:53] youts, how do I enable usb in vmware without rebooting the guest OS. [11:53] I wrote it badly. I know how to install them. But I can simply select hibernate from menu and it will work? For now hibernate and suspend doesn't work for me. [11:53] :) [11:53] if i want to play "warcraft III" on Ubuntu 7.10, whats the solution WITHOUT "WINE" ? [11:53] beacause it may cause my system freeze [11:53] how do I repair my grub? I installed windoze on a seperate partition which of course destroyed the MBR [11:54] !grub > falieson [11:54] Dear mactimes, Ubuntu users, I want to appologize for assuming Ubuntu couldn't work with "0"s in IPs! It works! For some reason it takes a reboot for changes to take place (unlike IPs without "0"). But it works fine now. Thank you VERY much. [11:54] ty [11:54] Belisarivs, hm... I juest press suspend from the list [11:54] np [11:55] you must use live cd, mount your linux partition, chroot to it and then run "grub-install /dev/hda" [11:55] Jack_Sparrow, I guess it could be beacause I installed the command line system first and then gnome... however it's my second ubuntu partition, I won't bother so much, I'll fix it sooner or later. Thank you very much for your help. [11:56] davide: Welcome, let me know what you find out [11:56] tyzcek.. no luck [11:56] Jack_Sparrow, ok! [11:56] Got it. Thanks. [11:57] Xima1, buuu [11:57] dandand: seeing as how it's not available for linux, your option other than wine is to set up a virtual machine and *maybe* that will work. (but since that is basically using windows, why not just dual boot and play the game) [11:57] hello everyone. i'm having problems SHARING A FOLDER to a WINDOWS computer. can't log-in with my user name & pass nor as ROOT. HELP? [11:57] dandand: i've never had much luck with wine [11:58] I have another issue. I toyed with intel drivers. It disabled direct rendering. No problem, I reinstalled xorg and kernel and rendering work again. But from this time network monitor doesn't display available wireless networks. [11:59] demitri: are you using samba [11:59] yes [11:59] demitri: Setup an account on both machines with same user and password on both [11:59] Belisarivs: when you upgrade the kernel you need to upgrade all your drivers [11:59] demitri>I could suggest ubuntuguide.org, there is article about samba [12:00] Belisarivs: what happens when you do iwconfig [12:00] but what if i use UNIX [12:00] will it work.? [12:00] demitri: There is also a command called sambapass or something like that.. but since I dont use Samba, you have reached the limit of my knowledge [12:00] hi [12:00] Belisarivs: lsmod | grep yourdriver [12:01] demitri: I know the passowrd thing is a connon problem, and that makeing same account seems to work [12:01] common [12:01] hi, i am making a shell script but it has got to the point where i need to wait for the console to say something before it inputs the next bit of data how would i go about making it wait for an output before it inpts the next set of charaters [12:01] Jack_Sparrow, demitri : I think you're looking for "smbpasswd" [12:01] Belisarivs: thanks for the quick version [12:01] Jack_Sparrow: ok i try that [12:02] moidekar: thanks... [12:02] johndebow: an output from what? [12:02] moidekar: what would be the OLD PASSWORD..? [12:02] moidekar: Making a note of it now.. would that fix his problem? [12:03] do you understand what I meant or need better explanation? [12:03] Anyone here that can help me with a Sonata/MPD issue? :) [12:03] Jack_Sparrow, demitri: smb passwords are encrypted with a different mechanism then regular UNIX passwords. for small installations, maintaining a separate user/password database for both is possible. For larger installations, LDAP integration allows you to manage user accounts for both services. [12:03] demitri: smbpasswd -a [12:03] did you get my messages? [12:03] It might sound an odd question but what would i get from moving from Debian to Ubuntu. I started using Debian pretty randomly really, it was just the first distro I came across by searching and it has worked fine but now I'm seeing that Ubuntu is all the bif linux distro. This is the contxt of my question. [12:03] that will add the account, if you don't currently have an smb user account setup, you don't have an old password [12:04] bif=big [12:04] Jack_Sparrow: welcome... demitri : smbpasswd -a user_name to add the user; you will be prompted for password; use same pasword as for that account on the Windows machine [12:04] Belisarivs: ask in the chan [12:04] ok [12:05] Hi guys, whats the off topic channel?? [12:05] !ot [12:05] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:05] lsmod: ipw3945 119840 1 [12:05] My problem is this: The volume slider in Sonata does not work. I can slide with the slider (:D) but it doesn't affect the volume. I tried to go into terminal and type "mpc volume 50" but that doesn't work either. The only way I can change volume atm is with the gnome-alsamixer sliders. Anyone? [12:05] besonen_mobile_: ipw3945 is your wifi card driver? [12:05] Belisarivs: ** that is [12:05] Jack_Sparrow: I expect it would; it has solved similar probs for me in the past :-) [12:05] moidekar: i tried typeing smbpasswd -a demitri but it showed me a list of options. [12:05] guzer: Not an odd question, but not really a support question. It tends to lead to long discussions and opinions. It might be better if you asked in our offtopic room #ubuntu-offtopic [12:05] Belisarivs: modprobe [12:06] (as root) [12:06] tomd: iwconfig displays info about card. Actually wireless works form me. But I have to use wifi-radar. network manager applet doesn't display available networks, though. [12:07] demitri: Weird, it doesn't ask me anything except for password for the user. You have already added the Linux system account of the same name with useradd (or other util of your choice), right? [12:07] how can i edit a file with the text editor using a command in the terminal? [12:07] its like gedit sudo file [12:07] Jack_Sparrow thanks i will [12:07] moidekar: demitri is my account [12:07] xLE: sudo nano [12:08] not nano. [12:08] the text editor [12:08] demitri: you are running the smbpasswd as root, right? Sorry, forgot to mention [12:08] moidekar: i'm very new to this by the way [12:08] Belisarivs: what about iwlist scanning [12:08] Belisarivs: that should do the trick eh? [12:08] moidekar: no [12:08] you don't edit it in the terminal you say the command and it opens the file in the text editor and you can edit it [12:08] demitri: -a is only avble to root [12:08] xLE: Which text editor? [12:08] gedit [12:08] xLE: sudo gedit file [12:08] t [12:08] ty [12:09] Hi guys .. and Good Day ! [12:09] nice day! [12:09] tomd: an output from console [12:09] moidekar: ok it worked now. the smbpasswd thing [12:09] IdleOne: Please try to use gksudo for gedit [12:09] johndebow: its kind of hard to do that. [12:09] moidekar: now what should i do..? log-in from WINDOWS..? [12:09] what do u mean ahrd [12:09] hard [12:09] demitri: great, now restart the smb service (just for luck) ;-) and try connection from your windows machine... [12:10] johndebow: if you wanted to wait for the output of a specific job you ran in the background, you might be able to do that with a pipe or a file [12:10] Jack_Sparrow: yes . xLE for GUI text editor use gksudo gedit file [12:10] moidekar: and how do i do that..? [12:10] It works. But I'like to make it work in nm-applet. [12:10] johndebow: because that would probably involve monitoring a pty or something overly complex. instead of asking how to do this, ask a more general question about how you want to solve your problem [12:11] johndebow: your resources are stdout, pipes, files. [12:11] I have ubuntu with a Nvidia video Driver installed by default, Is this normal that when I click on preview on screen saver of KDE system that I do not get anything on screen ? Do I have to install myself the Open GL ? [12:11] tomd: so say i made a script that ran a locate on a .txt and then after that i wanted to run another locate on a .jpg i would have to use pipe? [12:11] moidekar: how do i restart the smb service.? [12:11] johndebow: so as soon as it finds a .txt you want it to find a .jpg? [12:11] /etc/init.d/samba restart [12:11] kinda yeh [12:12] slt ma communauté nux [12:12] must be root [12:12] demitri: /etc/init.d/smb restart should do it; then at your windows machine, try opening a Windows Explorer window [12:12] !fr | Ikosa [12:12] Ikosa: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [12:12] Ikosa, Salut [12:12] ciao a tutti [12:12] !it | gregorio [12:12] gregorio: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [12:12] honte à moi 1ere visite et encore sous win je viens ici car je veux passer sous nux ubuntu et ensuite apprendre debian etch [12:12] slt à tous donc ! [12:12] moidekar: ok done! [12:12] isit possible [12:13] demitri: In the Windows Explorer window, type \\machine_name (your Linux system's hostname) or \\IP_Address_of_Linux_machine [12:13] Ikosa, tu seras mieux servi dans le canal #ubuntu-fr [12:13] ok ji vais [12:13] thx [12:13] demitri: Anything showing up? [12:14] Does OpenGL is installed by default in Ubuntu 7.10 ? [12:14] johndebow: you could do locate .txt > file & use a loop to check if there is output in the file if so run your next locate command [12:14] johndebow: you could read the file into a variable like this var=`cat file` [12:14] demitri: you may need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf (the shares section) to share certain folders from your Linux machine. [12:14] johndebow: although, i don't know the syntax for checking the variable. look it up in info bash [12:14] moidekar: ok hold === shapeshifter is now known as Shapeshifter [12:15] moidekar: it worked. [12:15] demitri: If you use KDE then I think there is a utility in one of the control panels to graphically set up shares... but I usually edit the conf file :-) [12:15] moidekar: it worked just from the previouse steps you gave me. thnks. [12:15] OK demitri , glad to know that. Cheers, [12:15] moidekar: thanks ! [12:16] I'm trying to get s2ram working and it suspends fine but after resuming the screen is completely "broken". It just stripes that swirl around if I turn the compiz cube or things like that. Any idea how to fix that? got a gma950 chipset. [12:17] Back to bed... moidekar.. thanks for the tutorial... goodnight [12:17] is there a way to find out which encryption that's used on a phrase? [12:18] Jack_Sparrow: I'm off, too! you're welcome.. one of the few things I know to do... :-) [12:24] What can I use to read EXT3 from windows? [12:25] <|ns|nR8> um [12:25] <|ns|nR8> i use a program [12:25] <|ns|nR8> 1 sec ill find its name [12:25] http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html i found this :) [12:25] kimmey2k3: google will tell you:) [12:25] kimmey2k3: google for ext2ifs [12:25] just read or rw? [12:25] tha was what i was looking for [12:25] RW ofcourse [12:25] kimmey2k3, ext2fs normally works fine http://www.fs-driver.org/ [12:25] it's like a 400kb proggie [12:25] it's RW [12:25] Jack_Sparrow, I fixed it!!! Yey!!! I was loading the old kernel, now I changed the grub and everything seems to be ok! [12:26] Any mpd/Sonata experts here, :p [12:26] ? [12:26] ok i have another problem: i'm trying to install the COMPIZ CONFIG MANAGER but it's not working. HELP.? [12:26] gigamo: Last I checked, Sonata doesn't work terribly well [12:26] * tomd was about to install mpd. it looks AWESOME [12:26] yes, thanks [12:27] dirkson, my problem is that changing the volume in sonata doesn't affect my volume :D [12:27] i can imagine a lot of the front-ends are crap, as there always are when a good project requires a frontend. [12:27] works like a dream [12:27] the only way I can change it is with the master volume slider in alsamixer [12:27] type sudo alsamixer [12:28] gigamo: Probably a mpd error. Look at /etc/mpd.conf, specifically the alsa section [12:28] question - is there any way to make my desktop invisible for cube rotation without making the icons invisible too? [12:28] yeah I'm in there now [12:29] but everything seems commented out [12:29] every line has # in front [12:30] gigamo: try doing mpc volume +5 from the cli [12:30] Hi I am unble to update the Progress bar GUI in Gtk+ code is here http://pastebin.ca/847960 [12:30] gigamo: obv. make sure mpc is installed. [12:30] hey [12:31] Im unable to see KDE screen Saver ... It does not start at all. Is this because I dont have OPENGL install ? [12:31] i want to make an email server (webmail,multiple domains) ...witch sistem shall i use ? postfix,exim,mailma???? [12:31] postfix [12:31] :) [12:31] tomd: yeah, that worked, but this still only changed my master volume, not the one in sonata :( [12:32] Arcad3: webmail is a separate issue [12:32] gigamo: what notion of volume do you have? [12:32] gigamo: I am not sure that all linux systems are configured so that individual apps will change the vol. and if you did mpc volume +5, that is likely the volume control supported by mpd. [12:32] gigamo: I am not sure of the details. alsa is complicated [12:33] gigamo: so if volume +5 works, but the slider in alsamixer doesn't work from sonata, thats a bug in sonata [12:33] hmm [12:33] wait [12:33] actually the volume +5 only changes the mpc volume value but also doesn't change the volume in sonata [12:33] I was wrong about it changing master volume, my master volume stayed the same [12:34] gigamo: when you touch the sonata volume control, is alsamixer affected? [12:34] nope [12:34] but [12:34] gigamo: the "sonata volume" you are talking about is probably a slider widget on a gui that doesn't do anything. [12:34] when I change mpc volume [12:34] the sonata volume slider is affected [12:34] ooh. [12:34] interesting. [12:34] but the thing is [12:34] changing mpc volume doesn't affect my volume :D [12:34] at all [12:35] gigamo: first lets recognize 1 thing. mpc and sonata are modifying the same volume control: mpd's volume control [12:35] yep [12:35] gigamo: so when you do +5 on mpc sonata's volume control changes [12:35] yeah [12:35] gigamo: but alsamixer's does not [12:35] indeed [12:36] gigamo: what happens when you move the volume control on sonata [12:36] nothing, except for mpc displaying the same volume that I set in sonata with the slider [12:37] gigamo: so you are modifying a value in mpd, but you *hear* no physical change in the volume from your speakers [12:37] indeed [12:37] gigamo: this is probably an alsa issue [12:37] gigamo: likely nothing to do with mpd [12:38] so I'll have to live with it I guess? :p [12:39] gigamo: since i'm not sure how individual apps adjust their volume, I can't offer you a full explanation... I would start by reading about alsa if it bugs you that much [12:40] tomd> depends on wich outputs you selected in mpd.conf [12:41] mkay :) thanks for your help though. [12:41] s/output/mixer [12:41] well [12:41] gigamo: It's how MPD interfaces with alsa. It uses some volume setting (Probably a PCM) that your sound card does not use. [12:41] gigamo: hey! hes got a point. [12:41] i haven't actually edited the mpd.conf at all, and as i said, there are many things commented out by default [12:42] dirkson: when I change pcm volume in alsamixer, my volume does change [12:42] gigamo: The solution is to figure out which mixer your sound card uses, and set mpd to using it, like LeGreffi3R mentions [12:42] and how would I go about doing that? :) [12:42] gigamo: Unfortunately, I don't really know offhand. I manipulate my volume directly : ) [12:43] hola alguien usa el cabletv con el kernel 2.6? [12:43] gracias [12:44] "mpd will automatically scan for a usable audio output if no output is specified" [12:44] aha [12:44] gigamo: what if it picked OSS or something. [12:44] yep, thats what im guessing [12:44] i can try uncommenting the sample alsa output, but I don't know what values to put there [12:45] name, should that be the name of my soundcard like displayed in alsamixer? [12:47] http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Configuration#Audio_Outputs scroll down to alsa mpd software volume control for the exciting conclusion. [12:47] i happen to be setting up mpd myself [12:48] hello everyone, how do you use GTK themes? [12:48] somebody knows something fron cabletv in ubuntu 7.10? [12:48] tomd: ALSA MPD software volume control [12:48] this part? [12:49] elbermungsterses: do you mean how to change GTK-themes? [12:49] yes. [12:49] that would be under System -> Preferences -> Appearance [12:49] gigamo: that would be my best bet there. [12:49] gigamo: im about 95% sure [12:50] oh yeah, and another problem. I can't install Metacity themes. [12:51] elbermungsterses: it should suffice to drop the theme on the appearance window [12:52] Anyone had any problems with using SeamlessRDP? I've read every guide I can find, I've set the NoDesktop registry entry to 1, I log off _properly_ before I try to connect, but when I use rdesktop -A -s "C:\\seamlessrdp\\seamlessrdpshell.exe C:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe" , I get the full window after I log on (but the desktop is blank like it should be with NoDesktop=1). [12:52] it says "file format invalid" [12:52] tomd: slider in sonata still not working :) [12:52] and mpc volume not either [12:52] and I did killall mpd && mpd [12:52] (I've talked to people who have it working, they say they get an error with an invalid shell (e.g. -s "SOMETHINGBOGUS") - but I don't get that whatever I specify as -s) [12:52] elbermungsterses: then he didn't package the theme correctly. You got it from gnomelook? [12:52] n problema [12:53] tomd: I guess I will try rebooting [12:53] :) [12:53] chi mi aaiuta [12:54] elbermungsterses: anyhow, complain to the theme writer (and visit art.gnome.org instead :)) [12:54] no, I got it from Ubuntu-Art.org. [12:55] i think perhaps you could try unpacking the archive in ~/.themes [12:56] it won't come up under appearance as a whole new theme though so youd have to chose "Customize" on an old theme [12:59] tomd: apparently reboot fixed the sound issue, but now my music library is gone :) [13:00] I'm having a unique issue that I have not had before. For some reason, apparently when I am using ffmpeg to transcode videos, my system shuts down of its own accord. I am guessing it could be from heat but it doesn't feel too hot, and conky does not report the temperature as being too outrageous, well within what is normal operating temperature for my pc methinks. I can not see the reason it shuts down (it flashes to a term since I do not use a splash or q [13:00] uiet kernel options) and I can not see the reason. I also do not see anything under dmesg. Ideas? [13:00] gigamo: probably something you did with the conf file [13:00] gigamo: maybe modified the user specific ~/.mpdconf? [13:01] who know cabletv for kernel 2.6? [13:01] I didn't change anything about directory in either of those files afaik :) === facundo is now known as facundo_ [13:01] gigamo: in either ever? [13:01] gigamo: I am wondering if the software decided to parse one file or the other based on whether one existed or not, etc [13:01] nope, they both do display the directory where my music is located when I go look in them though [13:02] gigamo: strange. i am trying to configure my library now [13:02] but "mpc update" does nothing, and "update library" in sonata not either [13:02] :) [13:02] hi [13:02] everybody [13:02] weird though, it had my library in sonata before I rebooted [13:02] xD [13:02] hi [13:03] anybody is there [13:03] I just bought genius look 316 webcam and it has a linux driver! [13:03] haa, nevermind :) [13:03] it's just that, I can't install it [13:03] I restarted mpd and now it's fine [13:04] it has three files [13:04] mview usbvm305.ko vm305.sh [13:04] how do I install the webcam? [13:04] wers: they are a kernel object and a shell script [13:05] ikonia, what do I do to thiose files? [13:05] wers: I had no docs to be certain, but at a guess, I would say running the shell script will drop the module into the kernel tree for you [13:05] wers: but that is an ASSUMPTION, not fact [13:05] this is so coool! the cam comes with a linux driver! lol [13:05] imma show you the contents of the .sh [13:05] !pastebin [13:05] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[13:10] simimi, that mean one of the memory bank is weak or can't work with the other, or auto settings from the bios don't match. [13:10] Im trying to change the language of a document in OO, and it simply drives me nuts. Can someone please explain how to change the language of a document, now I have to manually change the dictinary per each word from english to swedish, which is insane [13:10] hi [13:10] antivirus for ubuntu [13:10] !antivirus | pawan [13:10] pawan: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [13:11] Hi, is anyone else experiencing problems with firefox and flash after the system update few hours ago? [13:11] clamav is a virus scanner for mail.. =/ [13:12] and somewhat fails at doing just that. [13:12] kanzie, language is an item property like any style. You can set language for words, paragraphs, sections, .... Your best choice would be to use stylesheets for mixed language documents. [13:13] I have just reported my first Ubuntu bug. Is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wget/+bug/181487 an appropriate report? [13:14] hi [13:14] leagris: It is not mixed, a plain document written in swedish in OO then I installed swedish support and restarted, but it claims it all is english... this is insane [13:14] how to download calmav [13:14] Hi [13:15] Where do I define the current language for a document in OO, at least I can create a new one and copy paste original perhaps [13:16] While Using windows, when I connect to my college wireless network, internet explorer pops up with a page wo log in my user nam and password, then I have access to the internet.

You made ths sound like it was a Linux issue.

[13:28] In the bottom of the window that pops up there is a blue underlined text titled "Get Extensions" [13:29] u got it delliott, TeePOG i did it the automatic way with those po ups I guess [13:29] Kanzie because language is set up as a character style property. That allow you to mix languague inside paragraphs, just for one word or one sentence. There is no such thing as whole document language AFAIK. BTW you can setup the default document language for 'new' documents in menu Tools/Options/Language settings/Language/Default language for documents. [13:29] Xintruder, yeh it is Arabic [13:29] Hello [13:29] Xintruder: that's the way [13:29] iss there a off topic channel [13:29] hussam: I can't read arabic text if its in locally in my ntfs partition! [13:29] ?? [13:30] TeePOG: thats the way I like it ;) [13:30] !offtopic | nightstalker [13:30] nightstalker: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:30] I have a problem with madwifi and my atheros built-in wireless card [13:30] Okay thank you [13:30] i've got an Atheros AR2413. I've had wireless working a couple of times using ndiswrapper and then using madwifi, but on both occasions wireless has stopped working after being disconnected for the first time. [13:30] mark2007_: so use ndiswrapper. [13:30] great [13:31] IndyGunFreak, ndiswrapper did the same [13:31] Xintruder, I think it is ntfs so there will be no solution ? [13:31] IndyGunFreak, hence why I tried madwifi [13:31] is this a fairly new chipset? [13:31] IndyGunFreak, I don't know how to check. The laptop is only a year old [13:31] hello [13:31] hmm.. is it an acer? [13:32] jest ktos z polski??

You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [13:37] th0r: whats that command to scan for wireless networks again? [13:38] hi , ubotu [13:38] IndyGunFreak, iwlist scanning ? [13:38] its something like that.. he told me yesterday and i forgot to write it down [13:38] hey :) does anybody know another desktop search application than the one from google? (it doesn't search my home subfolders..) [13:38] man iwlist [13:38] simimi, you know now there is a memory issue on your machine. That's what cause it to reboot crash. [13:38] Genscher: the one that comes default? [13:39] leagris, ahh ok, but I only have 1 GB of memory...hm [13:39] Genscher: add the deskbar applet and chose the tracker backend [13:39] Genscher: then alt-f3 to search [13:39] My iwlist shows "No scan results" [13:39] mark2007_: what card do you have? [13:39] mavi-, ok, will do. Because beagle is completely useless imho :) [13:39] Genscher: yeah, tracker is a bit faster [13:40] how to remove program installed with wine from applications menu? [13:40] mavi-, Atheros AR2413 or AR5212... i think officially its AR2413 but 5212 is shown a lot [13:40] mavi-, also the quality + presentation of the results. Let's try tracker. didn't know if it :) [13:40] hello all, what is the right size for a swap file? i've got 2gb of memory. [13:40] Lartza_, Uninstaller from c_driver/Program Files/Vendorname/Programname Uninstaller should do it [13:41] chartz: linux doesnt have a swapfile, it has a swap parition [13:41] ah ok, i mean a swap partition. :) [13:41] the program is uninstalled, but applications entry on ubuntu is still there [13:42] mark2007_: ah, using the OS drivers or the windows ones? [13:42] charlz: is you are going to suspend to ram, then the same size as your ram [13:42] mark2007_: i have -alot- of problems with my atheros [13:42] So what can I do to fix this apparent memory issue that I wasn't aware of? [13:42] mavi-, I've tried both madwifi and ndiswrapper, but they both seem to act the same eventually [13:42] ah ok thnx. [13:42] hey has anybody experienced a plain black screen when switching users in gutsy with desktop effects enabled? i know this was an issue with compiz... anyone? [13:42] mark2007_: no APs ever found or do the results vary? [13:43] i dont think user switching works with compiz? [13:43] simplyubuntu: ^ [13:43] charlz, If it is a laptop and like to use suspend, it need quite more than total RAM as swap (2Gb + workingswap, say 3Gb). If it is a desktop 1Gb should be enough for reasonalbe use. [13:43] mavi-, when first installed (same for both drivers) it shows my router and i can connect fine. after being disconnected from that router, it no longer shows any of the APs [13:43] also, suspend hangs some laptops in gutsy [13:44] mark2007_: tried to down and up the interface? [13:44] really mavi? so then what am i supposed to do :S? log out everytime? [13:44] i guess.. [13:44] mavi-, it used to show 3 or 4 before connecting for the first time [13:44] mavi-, i don't know how [13:44] how to remove program installed with wine from applications menu? the program is removed, but meny entry stayed [13:44] mavi-, is there a way to make the search result more appealing/more usefull? (not only filename where the search string appears in but snippet + file path etc) :) [13:44] Genscher: deskbar is just a frontend, there should be others [13:44] mavi-, ah, thanks! [13:44] but i think "tracker frontend" is kinda hard to google up [13:44] tracker is such a stupid name for software [13:45] Lartza_, if Uninstaller don't remove menu entry. Right click on Application Menu and select Menu Editor. [13:45] thanx leagris. [13:46] umm... its doesn't work [13:46] maybe because im running ubuntu [13:46] it doesnt show all the menu entries [13:46] in what file are the menu entries? [13:47] Greetings! I have a question regarding syslog-ng and logrotate... [13:47] I would like my logs to be rotated every 500 kilo [13:47] leagris, any idea on how to fix this memory issue, I do not know what it is, I wasn't even aware it was a problem [13:47] Or let say every 10 minutes. [13:47] Lartza_, did you try closing the session tnen reentering it. It may have removed the entry from the config without updating notifying Gnome [13:48] How can I get syslog-ng / logrotate to do it so? [13:48] the program has been removed over two months ago after many restarts [13:49] leagris what gnome apps should you recommend that uses a webcam? example in Instant Messenger. [13:49] maybe i try to switch to ubuntu [13:49] i have both installed [13:49] simimi, can't help you remotely, if it is a faultly memory module, you can get a replacment one from your vendor. If it is a bios setting mismatch, one can help your remotely. Someone knowing about your bios settings and memory parameters can help. Not an ubuntu ussue btw. [13:49] charlz: amsn: ekiga [13:50] charlz, did you try pidgin? [13:50] leagris, well, thanks for everything, I appreciate the help. This is a bit over my head and out of my hands, so I'll hit google and see what I can come up with [13:51] leagris: he asked for progs with webcams [13:51] i try but i don't know how to enable the webcam leagris. [13:52] brobos >> is ekiga a free software? [13:52] also amsn [13:52] charlz: yes [13:53] ok brobos, i'll try the amsn and ekiga. tnx again ppl.. :) [13:54] charlz: welcome === loucas is now known as warner [13:54] hi, folks! i'm confused by the output of 'time -v ls' [13:55] !info ekiga | charlz [13:55] charlz: ekiga: H.323 and SIP compatible VOIP client. In component main, is optional.

[13:55] well 'man time' shows it does [13:55] meep [13:55] tnx ljl [13:56] anyone know how to determine screen resolution with xinit? [13:56] it should be the same as 'time --verbose' - but it doesn't work [13:56] humpf, what a sad thing that google desktop search (64bit) doesn't work 100% [13:56] hey guys im having issues with compiz I can't start it it says aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity [13:56] it shows '--verbose command not found' instead :/ [13:56] I have had loads of issues with my video drives but I think I got htem working now [13:57] Donnn1: hah... you're right, however there is a catch. if you just type "time", that is an internal bash command. it's help can be brought up by typing "help time". what you see in "man time" is the help for the command /usr/bin/time - if you want to run *that*, you have to type the path explicitly.

I was trying to resize an external drive (which is in FAT32), but gparted isn't allowing me to do it. On the resize/move dialog the size is "locked". Any ideas? [14:00] madmax: Make sure that the drive is unmounted before you attempt to resize it. [14:00] Yes, done that. I'm also running it has root [14:00] madmax - Make sure its unmounted and running as root [14:00] Ah [14:00] madmax, can't resize a mounted partition and plugged USB drives automount. unmount it first I guess.

[14:01] * leagris ROTFL about IndyGunFreak advice [14:01] is the "fn f8" screen switch function on laptops implemented in gutsy? [14:01] Well, it's an USB drive. Do I need to do something else than unmount it? [14:01] !flashissues | _moro_bana_ [14:01] _moro_bana_: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [14:02] _moro_bana_: the installer is broken right now download the tar file from adove and install it per the instructions, it should work fine. [14:02] _moro_bana_ - You can install manually - just put the .so into ~/.mozillia/plugins [14:02] leagris: at least someone got it. [14:02] s/than/other than [14:02] IndyGunFreak: VERY VERY FUNNY! :P [14:03] <_moro_bana_> chazco: just put what? [14:03] Hi All. I have added a few tasks in "/etc/crontab".

I have created an empty "/etc/cron.deny" file and also have created "/etc/cron.allow" file with "roshan" as its only contents. Can somebody help me please? I tried searching online but didnt find any solution! [14:03] _moro_bana_ - Download the .tar.gz'ed version from Adobe... inside theres an installer and a .so file... ignore the installer and just put the .so inside ~/.mozillia/plugins === wiske57_ is now known as wiske57 [14:04] running the installer is about as difficult as counting to 3, i don't see any reason to ignore it.

[14:10] Just the fix i was given (I need Flash for uni) [14:11] Bollinger: If you user the -server kernel, you can use up to 64gb of RAM, but not any proprietary drivers (no restricted modules package). Otherwise, you need to use the 64bit version [14:11] Hi All. I have added a few tasks in "/etc/crontab". I am able to run them as "root" but when i give try running them as my username "roshan", it doesnt work. I have created an empty "/etc/cron.deny" file and also have created "/etc/cron.allow" file with "roshan" as its only contents. Can somebody help me please? I tried searching online but didnt find any solution! [14:12] hi [14:12] Pici: Thank you ;-). Answered my question and then some [14:12] * IndyGunFreak thinks.. "So much for being simpler" [14:12] roshan: Why not just use your user's crontab? [14:12] chazco: did youg et it figured out. [14:12] hi guys I just did a fresh install and I have a problem dual-booting to windows. Is that something someone could help me with? [14:12] a section on ubuntu site for security announcments? [14:13] like an adreess [14:13] hey all [14:13] roshan: just login as your user, and do `crontab -e` [14:13] Pici, tried using that, but that also didnt work! [14:13] IndyGunFreak - Its decidedly simpler than telling a user how to chmod a script to executable and then run it (which shouldnt be a good idea at any rate unless you know how to check the script is safe) [14:13] is there a way to add a link to the gdm that runs a script if i need it to? [14:13] <_moro_bana_> chazco: done with downloading and extr. from the terminal it says ~/.mozillia/plugins does not exist [14:13] Pici, ya. had done that, but that had no effect. So tried in /etc/crontab [14:13] _moro_bana_ - Ah, you may have to create it, just use Nautilus [14:14] how is ubuntu different from debian? [14:14] chazco: if you ssay so, its not that hard, and the instructions are right there, and second, you obviously are nuts, as no chmodding is required [14:14] IndyGunFreak - I had to chmod it when I got it... [14:15] chazco: then you added a completely unecessary step [14:15] * chazco redownloads Flash to have a look [14:16] When I try to use the Windows boot option on GRUB, it looks like it is going to work and just goes to a black screen, I looked through several wikis and forums but to no avail.

[14:17] roshan: You may need to restart the cron service after making changes, did you try doing that? [14:18] _moro_bana_: gnash doesn't work with youtube and some other popular flash sites, as far as i know. [14:18] correct [14:18] Hello? [14:18] May i get support?

[16:23] chazco: if it thinks it wants to check - it will check === jonoinemailhell is now known as jono [16:23] hi [16:23] I cannot run streaming movies from certain pages :( nothing happens, the pages load but a black box for the movie.

[16:27] <_Ahti> orly? [16:27] chazco: I'm not sure fsck will listen to that [16:28] Hmm... does anyone know if its possible to get user input in the init scripts?

[16:50] I have fire bug, forecastfox, ubufox, user agent switcher [16:50] jenny6: you mean the small icon? why not just right click add applet back to the panel--or did you mean something else? [16:50] guzu: dapper would be my choice to try [16:50] just these 4 [16:50] is it a problem to run a feisty lamp webserver with swapfile disabled? swapoff -a ? [16:50] yes i did this but i get no mouse over from it.. [16:50] yes i did this but i get no mouse over from it..

Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [16:51] jenny6: not sure what you mean by mouse over get networks--do you mean the informational popup or something other? [16:51] bazhang: I think she means the notifcation area applet. [16:52] Jack_Sparrow: would disabling be enough instead of uninstalling? [16:52] Pici: oh ok thanks [16:52] Xintruder: certainly worth a try... [16:52] yes...when i had original icon for netowrks on panel i would mouse over and display my connection percentage and what no..now i get nothing [16:52] nickrud: hi! What can I do to correct this? I finally found the delay in my webserver. I let feisty make its own swap file, it made a 9G file. When I `swapoff -a`, my webserver goes fast, the speed I would expect. How do I change the swapfile size? [16:52] some connection properties crap [16:52] how do i mount an NTFS? [16:53] Pici I used the Restricted Manager to install the binary drivers and direct rendering is still not enabled [16:53] Jack_Sparrow: maybe I have the wrong nvidia drivers installed, dont you think? [16:53] dn4ia, which verion/ [16:53] Xintruder: Try that and I will be right back [16:53] sudo mount -t ???? /dev/hdc1 /mnt ? [16:53] ok [16:53] HPFS/NTFS [16:53] hi guys. in ubuntu 7.10, if using the file-browser nautilus and do mount a windows share from network, i'm getting a short-cut to that share in the left panel "Places". how can i learn the mount config that is used for this share. i can't find this share in /etc/fstab, /media/ nor /mount/ [16:53] Ttech, how do I find out the version? [16:53] Xintruder: I thought you only had used official repos etc.. did you install them manually? [16:54] yes...when i had original icon for netowrks on panel i would mouse over and display my connection percentage and what no..now i get nothing [16:54] Jack_Sparrow: I did nothing manually. But when I enabled compiz ubuntu downloaded some stuff and installed automatically [16:54] i acidently removed my networks from panel..now when i go to add a new one, i get no signals on mouse over like with original..how can i replace original networks to show me my connections on mouse over..thnx jenny [16:54] kaje1: ATI? [16:54] Xintruder: then should be fine [16:54] Jack_Sparrow: maybe something with gl?? if i remember correctly [16:54] ok [16:54] dbrewer_rjr: you need to make the swap partition itself smaller, or fewer swap partitions. swapon -s will show your swap partitions and their size, and gparted will let you resize. Probably 2gb is the max you'll want [16:55] !mount [16:55] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [16:55] dn4ia, ubuntu [16:55] Ttech, Gutsy [16:55] OK lets try this again... anyone having trouble timesyncing to a w2k3 server? [16:55] dn4ia, is it usb or internal? [16:55] i acidently removed my networks from panel..now when i go to add a new one, i get no signals on mouse over like with original..how can i replace original networks to show me my connections on mouse over..thnx jenny [16:55] Pici: yep, ATI X1400 [16:55] jenny, remove the network driver, reboot, then reinstall it and reboot again [16:55] kaje1: Make sure that you have the package xserver-xgl installed. [16:55] Ttech, internal [16:56] http://blogs.sun.com/richb/entry/losing_time NixerX_ like this? [16:56] Ttech, I just need to know the file system mount need to know [16:56] sudo mount -t ???? /dev/hdc1 /mnt ? [16:56] if you right click on the network icon, do you have wireless enabled? [16:56] dn4ia, mount ntfs-3g **** [16:56] nickrud: Thanks buddy. Knew I could count on you. It is good to have finally found the cause of the delay in my webserver. We are 3 wks from the production release date!! [16:56] or somethign like that [16:56] hi, i am runnning ubuntu gutsy server, nxserver doesnt work complaining that Could not open default font 'fixed'. So I checked my server to see that the directory /usr/lib/x11/fonts doesnt exist. how do I install that [16:56] rich__WHAT!!? is this really a solutions to it removing and reinstalling [16:56] i got two different drivers i think [16:57] dbrewer_rjr: cool. I'm suprised that ubuntu set up a swap that big, you must have lots of memory [16:57] Pici: I do not have that install... Should I install it? [16:57] jenny6: Can you try adding the notifcation applet to your panel. [16:57] kaje1: yes. [16:57] Jack_Sparrow, all 6.06 are lts? [16:57] pici: how so [16:57] nickrud: yup it is a major peice of iron from IBM. We hope to put 500 websites on it [16:58] jenny6: Right click on the panel, and find an applet in there called notification and press okay. [16:58] dbrewer_rjr: then take my info with a chunk of salt, I am no expert [16:58] Pici: Ok, restarting *crosses fingers* [16:58] nickrud: who is? i need this resolved asap. [16:58] Pici: Perfect thnx so much.. [16:59] jenny6: sure thing [16:59] New to the debian/ubuntu system, I am trying to install subversion and I was wondering if it was possible to install using apt-get without having the CD? (Installing from some URL) [16:59] Pici: i cant bealive other wanted me to uninstall install.... [16:59] guzu: I do believe so yes.. [16:59] nickrud: i went with ubuntu cause i am sick of redhat [16:59] Jack_Sparrow: do u blame me for whining about finding a laptop with a good graphics card :( [16:59] hello [16:59] dbrewer_rjr: what is the problem [16:59] Jack_Sparrow, thank you [16:59] np [17:00] Hi :-) - i'm playing with software watchdog. I do a: "modprobe softdog soft_margin=10 nowayout=1 soft_noboot=0". nothing running, which writes to /dev/watchdog, but the system does not reboot - knows anyone why? [17:00] iwaffles: of course. Go to System>Administration>Software sources and make sure that the CD source is disabled. [17:00] I have here a debarchiver repository and when I dput a package the md5sum of it is wrong detected by the cron script (debarchiver -so) [17:00] jenny6 you sorted then? [17:00] ikonia: What can I do to correct this? I finally found the delay in my webserver. I let feisty make its own swap file, it made a 9G file. When I `swapoff -a`, my webserver goes fast, the speed I would expect. [17:00] Jack_Sparrow: I just hope if I buy a system76, I wont get it crashing too because of compiz.. [17:00] Pici, is there a way to do this via command line? [17:00] iwaffles: Then just do `sudo apt-get install subversion` [17:00] the md5sum in .changes file is correct [17:00] Xintruder: I didnt see you whining, I do see you struggling..? [17:00] how can this be? [17:00] dbrewer_rjr: ok, thats a.) unusual b.) seems you've found the fix [17:00] iknoia: thanks [17:01] ikonia:thanks [17:01] this live cd doesn't like my Sil Raid 3114... any chance this alternate cd has the drivers / software on it to install ubuntu on this integrated chipset? [17:01] iwaffles: Of course. remove/comment the line in /etc/apt/sources.list that starts with deb cdrom: [17:01] bazhang, used and abused! no even a thank you. [17:01] dbrewer_rjr: you may want to remove swap from your fstab is you have enough ram, or remove it on a temp basis and resize swap [17:01] dbrewer_rjr: how much ram do you have ? [17:01] rich__: heh [17:01] Xintruder: effects are still new and there are bugs to work out.... do your homework.. google can really help you find what works and what does not. [17:01] Jack_Sparrow: well yeah... [17:01] awesome, Thanks Pici :) [17:01] 4G [17:01] dbrewer_rjr: are you running ubuntu server version, or desktop version [17:02] dbrewer_rjr: 32 or 64 bit [17:02] dbrewer_rjr: it may also be worth looking at what is being swapped out and why [17:02] ikonia: 32 bit server version. I love it so far, just the lag in serving pages must be fixed [17:03] dbrewer_rjr 32 bit and 4 gig of ram, which means you are probably usine PAE in the kernel [17:03] hmm.... i definatly hope this alternate cd solves my issues... [17:03] dbrewer_rjr: reduce your swap size to 4 gig and see how that works [17:03] i want upgrade my kernel from revision 46 to 47, where do i find it? [17:03] xdcc list [17:03] you fail [17:03] mrluff: what ubuntu version [17:04] ikonia: swap should = ram? And gparted is the tool? [17:04] ikonia: xubuntu 7.10 cell [17:04] blackal3x, which issues ? [17:04] ps3 [17:04] dbrewer_rjr: swap can / should be bigger in some situations, but not yours [17:04] dbrewer_rjr: gparted is a graphical tool which you won't have as your not running X [17:04] mrluff: cell ? [17:04] ikonia: ps3, ppc [17:04] ikonia: what do you suggest? [17:04] mrluff: the latest kernel in 7.0 is 2.6.22-14 - so where is 44 ? [17:05] neverblue, the live cd doesnt see the logical drive unlike windows so instead i see the two silicon harddrives.... [17:05] mrluff: ooh the Ps3 version is not official [17:05] mrluff: wait for them to release a kernel update [17:05] ikonia: i know :) [17:05] logical/silicon ? [17:05] that and the bootloader (grub) cant detect my silicon hardrives. [17:05] integrated silicon chipset. [17:05] has anyone installed subversion recently?

I've made an image of my network setup: www.puargs.net/helpmeplease.PNG ... anyone want to take a shot? [17:05] mrluff: ask the PS3 community then, it's nothing to do with ubuntu [17:06] hey guys i've plugged in a second drive with some files on but it's not showing up, what the right way to add it to fstab so it automounts? [17:06] iwaffles what ubuntu versions [17:06] iwaffles, you have universe iinabel [17:06] ikonia: yeah i thought someone here would know anyway [17:06] it's a second internal drive found at sdb1 [17:06] Hello everyone [17:06] blackal3x, do you have a combination of SATA and IDE drives ? [17:06] 7.10 [17:06] ikonia: i will surf for the info. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. [17:07] dbrewer_rjr: I assure you it will make a reasonable difference [17:07] Jack_Sparrow: have you experianced my problem with system76 laptop users? [17:07] În română ceva este?

[17:07] !hardy | chazco [17:08] !hardy [17:08] chazco: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [17:08] Pici: Couldn't find package subversion [17:08] blackal3x, what is your setup (HDs) atm, with what partitions (and types) ? [17:08] Ah ok... so the bug report is still open :) Turns out lots of other people are having the laptop issue [17:08] iwaffles: Did you do an apt-get update before you tried to install it? [17:09] Does anyone in here have experience in running World of Warcraft in wine using D3D instead of ogl? [17:09] No I didn't, I'll try that [17:09] mnemonica, maybe ask in #winehq [17:09] Is it safe to modify the initramfs as mentioned here - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpid/+bug/49240/comments/3 ? [17:09] Whenever i try to change song on rhythmbox - or any other audio player for that matter - the program crashes. halp [17:09] That probably would have been smart === alexander_ is now known as dev1 [17:09] neverblue, Ah, awesome. Thanks. [17:09] Jack_Sparrow: Ill take my chances by installing envy!. [17:10] Hey all, I've got a wierd problem: After a fresh install of 7.10 from USB stick, the system won't recognize any CDROM drives (which are IDE, AHCI HDDs) - it doesn't matter what I try in building my kernel, the only way to get it so show up is by disabling ACPI in gneral [17:10] zilla, are your files available locally, on the box your playing them ? [17:10] mnemonica, no problem [17:10] Xintruder: You probably wont be getting support here if you do though, you know that.

[17:10] !envy | Xintruder [17:10] help [17:10] im confused [17:10] Xintruder: envy is not needed or supported.

[17:12] thanks Pici [17:12] Jack_Sparrow: I am always unlucky with linux man, with all distributions I tried. And now, the easiest distribution, and I still fail to create a satisfactory O/S.

[17:12] Pici: direct rendering is still not enable and my video performance is awful right now... lots of screen tearing and lag [17:13] does #backtrack have a channel? [17:13] Xintruder: For difficult hardware or older hardware, I have had some success with Knoppix...

[17:14] yep [17:14] zilla, i realize that, as you have said that before, but in order for me to help you, you need to reply to questions I (we) ask [17:14] Hi, I am trying to dual boot windows and Ubuntu. What does "Guided - resize SCI1 (0,0,0), partion #1 (sda) and use freed space - I want to know whether this option will do anything nasty to my windows section? [17:14] Knoppix... its a live cd... and feels shamefull to use it as a fixed o/s... [17:14] Aristotles: guided--you are alright [17:14] i have mounted a windows share which i have browsed with nautilus (ubuntu 7.10). where do i find the configuration of that now? i can't find the mount entry in /etc/fstab, /media/ nor /mount/ [17:14] Which package contains import/export filters for koffice ? I tried koffice-filter, no such package. [17:14] zilla, are your (music) files available locally, the computer your playing them on? [17:14] it will just create another drive? [17:14] neverblue, yes [17:15] Xintruder: The newer version has an install option where you would first type Knoppix to run it [17:15] zilla, have you tried other media players, xmms, amarok, etc ? [17:15] anipy You have to add that yourself. [17:15] anipy open a terminal and type 'mount' [17:15] neverblue, yes but they all behave the same [17:15] Is it safe to unload the module "ac" and if so how do i do it? (checking something) [17:15] zilla, did you receive the files via torrents ? [17:16] zilla: these are drm'd files, ripped mp3's or what? [17:16] NixerX_: but the share is already mounted, isn't it? i can see it in the menue panel "Places -> My-shared-name" and in the side-panel of nautilus. [17:16] Jack_Sparrow: ... my only current consisting problem is overheating, and compiz crashing it all up. Im sure some guy can come from mars on a lucky night and fix it for me, or some guy here or there.... [17:16] neverblue, no ripped mp3s [17:16] NixerX_: and it works perfectly [17:16] how do you want to partion this disk? [17:16] what option do i choose? [17:16] neverblue, and they worked perfectly up to a few hours ago [17:16] Xintruder: I need to leave for a bit. Hope it all works out for you. [17:16] partion #1 (sda) and use freed space?

I can SSH to it successfully, but don't really know what to do with that afterwards. I mean, I know how to forward ports & tunnelling and that in Putty (the client laptop runs vista), but I .. don't quite get it, and would appreciate any further explanation-c- [17:36] Open office includeded in 64 bit ubuntu is a 64 bit app or is ot a 32 bit one [17:36] mohit: 64bit [17:36] its grub w/ a solaris-type background [17:36] mohit: everything in 64 bit release, is 64bit [17:36] but for some reason w/ the solaris boot u dont have to specify a roo (hdx x) [17:36] !offtopic | Aeleon [17:36] Aeleon: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[17:37] Aeleon, so what do u want to run on the system? [17:37] i couldnt figure it out...guess i missed something [17:37] Aeleon: do u want to use ur ssh forwarding for browsing? [17:37] mohit not really === Ademan is now known as Robin_ [17:37] i read something saying that solaris wouldnt boot off regular grub...from the sun website itself [17:37] * kando shrugs [17:37] rowdy it's better to speak in english if possible with out "U" and "UR" [17:38] kando: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/grub_boot_solaris.jsp [17:38] kando: yes it will [17:38] now if i can just get os/2 warp installed ill have 7 os's :D [17:38] ikonia :) [17:38] ikonia: very nice thanks :D [17:38] 7 os's wow ;X [17:38] then I guess 64bit just for the sake of using the extra instruction set! [17:38] Plus, the MMO I want to play has a million ports I need to forward, and would rather not go through all that. So someone suggested establishing a vpn, and so I'm trying that as well, with pptpd. When I try to connect, it says that the server isn't responding. If this is the preferred method, where should I begin? If SSH is better for what I want, which is a bypass to all the blocked uni ports. [17:38] tkpwns: yea its pointless but i love the variety [17:38] :D [17:38] neverblue, please read it before categorizing it as off-topic.

[17:39] yes [17:39] bazhang - other people who have helped me here disagreed. [17:40] rowdy: there is the problem, rowdy because ubuntu server ships without X you need to install the correct fonts packages and re-configure xorg, or tell your applications to use other fonts [17:40] hiho [17:40] rowdy: you'd be better with a desktop install [17:40] rowdy: makes things a lot easier [17:40] is this 965 stabiltiy issue with ubuntu only or with the entire linux family as of now [17:40] mohit: xorg in general [17:40] well, i did do a install xubuntu-desktop [17:40] rowdy: thats not the same thing [17:40] My question, simplified, is- Can someone help me understand how I can use SSH Tunneling to bypass my school's router OR help me figure out why this VPN isn't working?

[17:50] skounis: try grub install [17:50] can't* [17:50] thanks, dfcarney [17:50] Aeleon: ah, well that's a policy decision by the school 'cause they obviously don't want people playing SecondLife :) [17:50] Aeleon: as i'm sure you've guessed === Robin_ is now known as Mysterio [17:51] dfcarney- I wasn't only going to play it. I'm taking psych classes here, particularly social psychology. [17:51] Aeleon, pretty sure most internet gaming will be against the uni's rules. Lets drop it please. [17:51] PriceChild, please don't be rude. he asked. [17:52] Aeleon: i don't want to actively promote circumventing your IT department's policies, but everything you need to know about ssh is in 'man ssh' [17:52] dfcarney - when I explained that to them, they were perfectly willing, but the fact is that SL uses lots of ports made it nearly impossible to get approval. [17:52] them = IT department* [17:52] ughhh why are we discussing this [17:52] Yeah, doesn't look like noteworthy is available [17:52] Aeleon: this is off-topic, unfortunately [17:53] the grub starts after 1-2 minuites, but it doesn't give me the option to chose os [17:53] Whatev.

[18:22] neverblue, i install smt while upgrading [18:22] Slart: that is the problem with the man page is that this is a regular expression thing, not a grep thing (I think) [18:22] smt? was that the package that caused issues ? [18:22] neverblue i am using synapticc now [18:23] neverblue, E: tzdata: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 [18:23] where do wesetup the fonts in ubuntu?

"egrep 'bill|gates' filename" [18:27] drama1981, ya, that is what it looks like... [18:27] puargs: can you pastebin the output of 'route' command on ubuntu machine?

[18:35] osx5, check the 'Ubuntu guide' (google it), has some explaination as to how to do that... [18:35] osx5: It would be in your best interest to stay with official repos and releases until you get ore comfortable with linux in general [18:35] it is [18:35] osx5: where did you get the source? :P [18:35] NixerX no is a Barcode & Label printer [18:35] aim.com [18:35] debatem1, brown windows xp like [18:35] pike_: sorry, forgot to prefix the message- i'm on the pc, through mirc. :D works fine. i can even see the web server on my linux comp. just internet isn't working [18:35] VilasBoas have you tried generic text drivers?

[18:36] yes but it ask to wait nad it don't print [18:37] is it hard to make a binary package? [18:37] drama1981, aha! i was missing the notification area which has that and pidgn in it [18:37] osx5: it's already made for you [18:37] so i had it all along [18:37] VilasBoas you might be up the creek then...what is the model [18:37] osx5: but you don't want aim [18:37] what do i want [18:37] judgen: are you running enlightenment, sawfish, icewm...? [18:37] pike_: oh good question, lemme check right quick [18:37] osx5: Have you tried Pidgin yet [18:37] osx5: it looks horrible and outdated. install pidgin instead. [18:37] osx5 the ohjly way to learn is to try. [18:37] matholum: did you get it back then? [18:37] yea wasn't a fan [18:37] drama1981, so it was in the add box ^_^ [18:37] is there another app i can try out? [18:37] that's for IM [18:37] drama1981, yup, thanks for the help [18:37] !pidgin [18:37] pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It is available in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but not previous versions. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0 [18:38] NixerX sorry it's a laser and it's a Citizen CLP-521 http://www.citizen.co.uk/printer/barcode/clp621.htm [18:38] debatem1, i have none of those installed [18:38] Hey, i'm trying to play an mp3 with mplayer (yes i know, very bad) and i'm getting the following error message "Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll". Is there a package i can install to get the codecs? [18:38] i never thought about the notiificationa rea. glad ya got it fixed. [18:38] judgen: sawfish is default then [18:38] osx5: amsn [18:38] what up [18:38] how do i get amsn [18:38] and yw [18:38] debatem1, seems to be compiz+gtk-window-deco [18:38] drama1981, i have 3 nm-applets now though... -_- [18:38] osx5: sudo apt-get install amsn [18:38] osx5: emesene its a good one too [18:38] ty [18:38] osx5: use the package manager. though I'd recommend pidgin [18:39] debatem1, sawfish does not show up in ps [18:39] VilasBoas do you know what printing subsystem you are using? [18:39] pike_: no dice, Destination Host Unreachable [18:39] judgen: are you looking for your window manager of decorator? i thought you were looking for your manager [18:39] matholum: the rest should disappear on reboot. that or you can open system monitor.. and kill the remaining 2 instnaces of nm-applet [18:39] puargs: so it is routing issue. hrm.. [18:39] osx5: supports offline message but not file transferes, so why not amsn, but its heavy [18:39] osx5: I would recommend you make a backup of your system before getting your own sources and trying to compile things. [18:39] drama19981, ok thanks [18:39] it's a bit depressing that people are so ready to give straight answers to "how to" questions :/ [18:39] hmm, update manager (gui) doesn't seem to know that I've changed sources.list from fiesty to gutsy and done 'apt-get dist-upgrade' ... it still thinks I should upgrade to 7.10 [18:39] yeah what's weird is i can ssh in to the linux pc from both the router AND the PC [18:39] debatem1, i want to use the compiz+kwin like i do in kde in gnome too [18:39] judgen: that's kde-window-decorator not kwin [18:39] matholum: yw [18:39] crdlb, oh ok [18:40] that will just lead to people using synaptic or apt or whatever without understanding what they're doing! :/ [18:40] NixerX usb://CITIZEN/CLP-521 [18:40] is this ??? [18:40] VilasBoas http://ml.osdir.com/printing.general/2006-07/msg00028.html [18:40] pike_: sorry forgot to prefix again. i can ssh into ubuntu from both the router and from windows pc === ziyax is now known as IH8MYSELF [18:40] is there a way to add an option to a gdm login to run a script when you click it?

[18:40] matholum: i honestly dont know. ive been wondering the same thing for a very long time. [18:40] VilasBoas when you hook the attach the printer to your linux box do a dmesg [18:40] is there a free windows tool for decompressing .gz files? [18:41] sup yall? [18:41] debatem1, that would be helpful [18:41] im sure there is...i just havent found it yet === IceGuest_7 is now known as XJ94 [18:41] Chousuke: if we would require people to understand what they were doing we'd have 5 people using cars, 5 using computers, only 2 being able to use the toilet etc... =) [18:41] adelie: tar [18:41] judgen: k, looking [18:41] thanks [18:41] drama1981, it drives me crazy cuz sometimes an app will freeze and i have to reboot to do anything cuz i can't kill it === nils- is now known as nils_ [18:41] pike_: when i went to bed last night, both computers were on, both could access internet just dandy... woke up this morning, both are still on, but linux can't access [18:41] adelie: file roller perhaps [18:41] Slart: they're supposed to understand the basics [18:41] adelie: in windows? [18:42] Slart: like, say, that they're installing software. [18:42] debatem1, i found this: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Decorators/KDEWindowDecorator [18:42] Slart: or what sudo is. [18:42] debatem1, but i dont have kde-compiz-decorator [18:42] !ccsm [18:42] a4ndr3c: yeah. I compressed some files for someone from my computer, and they havn't upgraded yet to a real operating system [18:42] Hey, i'm trying to play an mp3 with mplayer (yes i know, very bad) and i'm getting the following error message "Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll". Is there a package i can install to get the codecs? [18:43] matholum: as longa s the comp isnt totally frooze you can do ctrl+alt+backspace and it will take you back to the login window. effectively terminating the app. its quicker than a reboot but you will lose anything you were working on [18:43] puargs: do you have a default-gateway set? [18:43] judgen: kde-window-decorator is packaged as compiz-kde in ubuntu [18:43] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [18:43] !medibuntu | DRebellion [18:43] Chousuke: sure, they will be happier understanding.. but having some kind of "you have to be this tall before I answer your questions"-requirement would just make people go elsewhere for quick answers.. I'm not sure that is a better solution [18:43] tramp: i believe so. should be 192.168.1.1 ... what file do i double check? i'm pretty sure i have it [18:43] DRebellion: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [18:43] DRebellion: specifically w32codecs [18:43] crdlb, found it thanks [18:43] debatem1, no need to look any more, its fixed =) [18:43] if i install an older version of ubuntu is it possible to upgrade it once its installed? [18:43] puargs: netstat -nr [18:43] Slart: I'd link them to documentation instead. [18:43] judgen: lol k [18:43] puargs: im not sure really you might post both those links in ubuntuforums sorry it looks good initially [18:43] debatem1, thanks for taking time for me though [18:44] Shi-Lang: yes [18:44] apt-get update [18:44] puargs: entry has to start with 0.0.0.0 [18:44] Can i use Compiz on ubuntu installed inside of vmWare?

[18:44] !upgrade [18:44] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [18:44] pike_: thanks dude, no problem :D thanks for all your help [18:44] Slart: if they read the guide and understand it, they've gained a lot more than from a single line one-shot answer. [18:44] k turns out i have a factory ubuntu disk thats 5.10 [18:44] drama1981, ya, that is at least better... i wish there were an interup key combo though ^_^ [18:44] apt-get upgrade [18:44] MidnighToker: nope [18:44] NixerX it says that a printer driver is missing a CLP-521 was added with the Generic text-only printer [18:44] Alright, I'm in need of some help. I've tried 2 different Ubuntu distros, 7.04 32 bit and a 64 bit (version unknown) and both run fine off of the live CD. After installation the system refuses to boot. The system is an M2NE-SLI w/ a 5200+, 2 gigs PC800, GeForce8600 and a Maxtor 250 gig hdd [18:44] ikonia: btw, i am sorry for criticizing your solution yesterday. it wound up being exactly what I needed. thank you. [18:44] crdlb: ta [18:44] cwillu around? [18:45] Chousuke: the documentation for linux/ubuntu isn't really that great... yes there are lots and lots of outdated, poorly written howto's etc etc.. but good, sensible documentation isn't that easy to find [18:45] tramp: which entry? as in, which file/command should I be looking at? (i'm a noob) [18:45] VilasBoas I dont think its gonna work. Label printers can be tricky. [18:45] Slart: most of the basics are well documented. [18:45] NixerX do you have any ideia [18:45] Slart: or should be, anyway [18:45] I need a bullet-proof guide on resizing the swap partition on a feisty server [18:45] puargs: run netstat -nr. One entry you see should start with 0.0.0.0 ("Destination" column) [18:45] matholum: i actually think it is possible. you just have to setup your own keyboard shortcut [18:45] Slart: tbh, most of it could be explained on *one* web page. [18:45] I'm having trouble getting my HP Pavilion to boot up, it won't display POST on the laptop LCD but it will boot Vista strangely enough [18:46] VilasBoas do I have anyidea how to make it work? [18:46] tramp: ah yep. i have it. http://www.puargs.net/route.txt [18:46] drama1981, oh... i will have to look that up then [18:46] norv: Did you try actually turning it on and off? The graphics hardware may be left in a bad state by vista. [18:46] Slart: like what packages are, why apt is used to install software, a mention of the terminal, and a few other linux-specific quirks. just to get beginners started. [18:46] oh, and sudo [18:46] NixerX do Thanks for all ;) :( [18:47] i just googled it and the first few links i find say it has to be self defined [18:47] whats the difference between Ubuntu 5.10 install cd and Live cd? [18:47] Shi-Lang: the live-cd can't be used to install ubuntu [18:47] Chousuke: I agree that they will learn more if they searched for the knowledge themselves.. but I don't think we should deny them answers just because they don't want to read the faw/howto etc.. and many answers are of the kind.. go look here, read this or go to this link, already [18:47] aha [18:47] Chousuke: Would you mind taking that to offtopic... Discussions interfere with the people that are here for support [18:47] VilasBoas sorry bro. :( [18:47] Shi-Lang: th alternate wont do live only text install. [18:47] stroyan`: over and over again [18:47] k [18:48] Shi-Lang: newer versions have the installer on the live-cd though. [18:48] scguy318: thanks for the info [18:48] Chousuke: I think you're looking at more than a simple webpage for the basics.. there's a lot of stuff to learn if you haven't been around a linux machine before [18:48] but on older machines use the lternate, the live maybe to slow [18:48] puargs: ah. you're bridging - missed that part. [18:48] sorry Jack_Sparrow [18:48] thanks [18:48] tramp: oh sorry dude; here's a visual map of it- http://www.puargs.net/helpmeplease.PNG [18:49] I created a "Google" calendar in Evolution and now it won't delete.

[18:57] ubuntu [18:57] Alright, I'm in need of some help. I've tried 2 different Ubuntu distros, 7.04 32 bit and a 64 bit (version unknown) and both run fine off of the live CD.

Anyone willing to help an old man out on installing VPN on ubuntu? I often use VPN to connect to work from home and have no clue how I should go about this :) === PurpZe1 is now known as PurpZeY [19:02] silverphoenix: no.. it's just a kernel and a userspace; you build the packages by hand or implement your own package manager of choice [19:02] where i can find packages?

[19:03] !dvd | khaotik [19:03] khaotik: dvd::rip is good [19:03] DRebellion: no [19:03] khaotik: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [19:03] KlrSpz: ok, does it have a support channel? [19:03] guess its time for google then ;) [19:03] Is there any way to verify that my dist-upgrade worked? [19:03] hey again. i am still trying to get my seagate freeagent working with ubuntu 7.1. it is formatted with ntfs, ntfs3g is installed, and i am only trying to read from the drive. the drive still mounts only on boot, and if it is allowed to idle for even two minutes it will cause an "unsafe removal error" when i attempt to access it. so far i have tried downloading sdparm and entering the commands found on post #6 on this forum post, but my issu [19:03] silverphoenix: umm.. dunno... never looked :S [19:04] khaotik: dvdshrink is out there, there was another one I really liked tho... [19:04] Is there an ssh config that I need to tell the server to allow the client to access folders as a whole not just individual files? [19:04] i think my multiuniverse repositories aren't working properly [19:04] cal-mac: did you mount it with windows at any time? [19:04] DRebellion, this site appears to be for gaming purposes. Is this still relevant to what I'm trying to accomplish for work? [19:04] I recently reinstalled ubuntu, I installed /uninstalled windows fonts, copied ttf files etc, how can I restore all the fonts to the default ubuntu settings ? [19:04] cal-mac: sounds like the file lock is still in place... only real way to fix that is to boot into windows and do a reboot/shutdown, or reformat the drive [19:05] benzene: Just remove the mst font packages [19:05] i downloaded dvdshrink. it was my fav. on windoze but the linux version i cant figure out [19:05] benzene: you want to update font cache or remove fonts already in some font dir? [19:05] How to add Local Ubuntu install ISO image to access repos from it? [19:05] i've ntocied the ntfs tools don't properly remove that lock anymore [19:05] KlrSpq: yes it has been used with windows prior to my installing a dual boot xp/ubuntu setup on this machine, and it has been used with xp on this current dual boot setup too [19:05] I just installed 7zip, but i can't find it - where could it be? [19:05] dcf [19:05] PurpZeY: doesn't ssh already allow you to access your whole home directory? [19:06] pike_: something more like updating font cache, is it sudo fc-cache ? [19:06] ObeyRoy: '7zr' [19:06] KlrSpq: if that were in place would i be able to access the drive immediately after booting? i can use the drive and continue to use it as long as i access a file right away after booting [19:06] aricz__: What's that mean? [19:06] i need to recompile the rt kernel and make a few changes but im stuck. it says to download the source from the the repos which i did. then says i have to apply the rt patch. this is where i get stuck. it appears to jus me a bunch of text and i dont even know where the source went that i installed using apt-get. anybody can help? [19:06] Question , where can i find information on how to run more than one X server on the same computer ? [19:07] How to load repositories from ISO image? [19:07] dtolj: if you start "system, administration, software sources" while you have the cd in the drive I think it'll pop up a dialog asking if you want to use it [19:07] InvisiblePinkUni: The files I am trying to access are not in my home directory...I am trying to add an entire folder /media/harddisk/music to a play list in totem so I can get my mp3s on my laptop...I can drag drop individual files, but if I drag drop a folder I get an error.... [19:07] dtolj: oh.. iso image.. not a burned cd? [19:07] Slart: yes ISO === aricz__ is now known as aricz [19:08] Cpt_Qtek: Do you want different X servers on different cards, or on different vt's on one card? [19:08] Slart: I have mounted it but how to add to sources.list [19:08] InvisiblePinkUni: I get "Location not found"...even if I create a play list on the server and then try to add the play list I get the same error....but if I drag drop an individual mp3, no error. [19:08] Slart: is that possible? [19:08] where can i find packages? [19:08] stroyan , I want different X servers on the same grafical card ... [19:08] !software | alsadk [19:08] alsadk: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [19:09] dtolj: hang on.. can you unmount it and start the software sources application.. then mount it again? === rpc is now known as Pichi [19:09] stroyan , different X servers on different VT's yes ... how can I do that ? [19:09] ok it seems my mp3 problem is caused by the faulty mp3 and not mplayer. === Pichi is now known as JAyL [19:10] Slart: Well the thing is I dont have GUI! [19:10] my timezone is 1 hour behind the right time, how do I fix that? [19:10] pici : actually i want ntfsprogs [19:10] do you think that we will be able to play Starcraft 2 on ubuntu? [19:10] anyone know how to install Defcon game [19:10] dtolj: ok.. then we have to edit the sources.list file directly.. hang on [19:10] Slart: I could just edit sources.list from bash [19:10] dtolj: where is the cd mounted? [19:10] sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs [19:10] can someone help me: I am trying to add applications on ubuntu, but it keeps saying that the list of applications is not available [19:10] Slart: the ISO is mounted under my home dir [19:10] I am trying to install Gentoo . And I want to know what the right lan card is and I know ubuntu has the information ,but I don't know what file has that information in it. [19:10] InvisiblePinkUni: Any ideas? I am thinking somehow ssh is not allowing access into subdirectories is there a way to change that [19:11] I just installed the latest Hardy Alpha and gnome session is hanging on login. Any fixes? [19:11] my clock shows the time one hour off, why is that [19:11] tarelerulz: lspci maybe [19:11] dtolj: you can use the apt-cdrom program apparently [19:11] PurpZeY: its more to do with how totem reads the playlist... thats what i understand... [19:11] tarelerulz: well this isn't a gentoo help channel, but like most distros gentoo has "lspci" that you can use to assist yourself [19:11] !hardy | dirk` [19:11] dirk`: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [19:11] PurpZeY: are you using sshfs? [19:12] PriceChild, Thx [19:12] how can I update the font cache ? [19:12] yay , the flash workaround worked just fine [19:12] InvisiblePinkUni: I don't know...If you think ssh is a bad way to do what I want to do I am open to suggestion...I tried NFS but I can't seem to get it to mount...But how do i check if it's sshfs? [19:12] thanks again [19:12] benzene: fc-cache -rv [19:13] benzene: or delete the font cache folder and log out and back in [19:13] hey all of a sudden there are a couple of websites that i cant get to (shows the page not found thing) happens in firefox and opera but i've been on them before any ideas? [19:13] PurpZeY: just try creating a subfolder in that directory... for testing purposes... [19:13] k for the alternative install of Ubuntu 5.10, is it supposed to hang at 6%? [19:13] PurpZeY: or is it readonly for you? [19:13] I have try lspci and it don't see the same name as Ubuntu so I think it i wrong. That is why I wish I had the file that store that information [19:13] wizzo_: broken dns? [19:13] InvisiblePinkUni: In this instance that would be impossible b/c it is a read-only partition [19:13] this is with using a factory disk [19:13] InvisiblePinkUni: I can try in /home [19:13] tarelerulz: it isn't a file, it reads it from the hardware [19:13] PurpZeY: i have another idea... [19:14] my java broken when i access the IBM HOST ON DEMAND Mainframe.. sugests? [19:14] tarelerulz: and there shouldn't be any reason for it to not show the same info [19:14] slart: my friends can get on the page but i can't... i've been on them before.. [19:14] InvisiblePinkUni: No, I can create a folder in /home [19:14] !who | tarelerulz [19:14] tarelerulz: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:14] KlrSpz: ty [19:14] i'm new to linux and ubuntu. i'm trying to connect to internet but it doesn't work. can anyone help? [19:14] i can access the internet but i cannot add any applications on ubuntu, what seems to be the problem? [19:14] wizzo_: I still say my guess is broken dns [19:14] PurpZeY: instead of dragging and dropping.... why dont you access the files using the + sign in totem... [19:14] InvisiblePinkUni: I'm listening. [19:14] Cpt_Qtek: You can start another X server with xstart -- :1. It will use a different vt. See "man Xorg" for information on the vt option to control which vt is uses. [19:14] wizzo_: give me the url of one such page [19:14] my java broken when i access the IBM HOST ON DEMAND Mainframe.. sugests? [19:14] PurpZeY: try browsing to the directory from TOTEM... [19:15] zhegao: can you use synaptic? [19:15] does anyone know how to get my time to be correct? its off by one hour [19:15] slart: pepboys.com [19:15] PurpZeY: and then in that directory select all.... like Ctrl+A [19:15] KlrSpz: I just thought that information might be stored in a file somewhere. I mean with out net I am pretty lost. I can't do anything [19:15] thx [19:15] tarelerulz: i understand, but no.. it's not stored in a file with lspci [19:15] now, you can possibly get the config that the ubuntu kernel is using, but that won't help either [19:15] Slart: i have no idea how to use synaptic, i'm very new to ubuntu [19:15] lshw [19:15] wizzo_: ok.. works from here.. try running this in a terminal "host pepboys.com" [19:16] see what module is loaded in ubuntu, and that'll help as well possibly.. use lsmod and look [19:16] zhegao: check the dialog window [19:16] I have synaptic opened [19:16] but realistically, you should know what your network card is, and see it in lspci to determine the module to use... you can use the output from lspci to google a linux module [19:16] Slart: shows up [19:16] hey, how can i view a bunch of images in a folder as a slideshow? [19:16] I am installing Ubuntu 5.10 from factory disk and it stalls at 6%, what do I do? [19:16] what is the tar.gz all about [19:16] tarelerulz: did that make sense? [19:16] it keeps saying that the list of applications is not available [19:16] khaotik: tar is not a compression format, gzip is... [19:16] says its validating zlib1g... [19:16] but i am connected to the internet [19:16] ObeyRoy: gthumb [19:17] PurpZeY: any luck? [19:17] zhegao: synaptic is another way of installing things.. in ubuntu you can install software by using the Add/Remove-menu, by using synaptic, or by using the command line with apt-get.. there are others too but these are the most common ones.. in the menu "system, administration, synaptic package manager" [19:17] so if i download a tar.gz how do i install it? [19:17] brobostigon: how do I use gthumb? [19:17] khaotik: you have to unzip and untar it [19:17] zhegao: were u able to connect right after u installed ubuntu? [19:17] Shi-Lang, you'd be better getting hold of a more recent version of Ubuntu, 5.10 is no longer supported and newer versions will have better hardware support [19:17] wizzo_: "pepboys.com has address 168.220.64.64" you get the same ip? [19:17] it a picture manger, look in your gnome menu [19:17] ObeyRoy: gqview is nice too, small, fast, and useful [19:17] !eol > Shi-Lang [19:17] KlrSpz: I get you can use a command to find out what pci stuff you have ,but when I do lspci I don't get the same hardware as I did with Ubuntu . So I am wondering if there is file that store the pci devices information [19:17] khaotik> Try tar -xvzf file.tar.gz [19:17] so untaring it is not the same as unzipping it? [19:17] Slart: yes [19:18] khaotik: tar -xzf [19:18] InvisiblePinkUni: It adds the files but "location not found" when trying to play them [19:18] wizzo_: if you write the ip instead of the url, does that work? [19:18] my java broken when i access the IBM HOST ON DEMAND Mainframe.. sugests? [19:18] Slart: yeah I have it opened but now what? [19:18] I cant install newer versions [19:18] khaotik> That will untar and uncompress it in one action [19:18] my burner doesnt want to burn a proper capy [19:18] zhegao: what program did you want to install? [19:18] wireless assistant [19:18] PurpZeY: what if you just select one file... using the same method... does it play? [19:18] all my installs fail because theres always one error [19:18] InvisiblePinkUni: It's even weirder than that really b/c I actually added the playlist [19:18] Slart: nope [19:19] PurpZeY: no... you cant add a playlist... [19:19] tarelerulz: and i'm saying no.. there isn't... wouldnt' make sense anyway since you can change hardware... but the important part i'm saying is you should NOT be getting different info.. lspci hasn't been updated in forever to even cause differences like that... but what i'm saying is what you really need to know is the module being used by the kernel in ubuntu so you can compile it into your kernel in gentoo... to do so, use lsmod to v [19:19] InvisiblePinkUni: Individual files work [19:19] zhegao: press the search button.. type in "wireless assistant" and ok [19:19] there's always a I/O error my only factory disk is a 5.10, the isos i downloaded of 7.10 fail [19:19] Slart: it seems you know what you are doing. can u help me with intenet connection. i'm not able to access internet [19:19] khaotik> Be aware, though that this will also preserve the directory structure of the tarred files, so you might want to expand it in an empty directory. [19:19] PurpZeY: it thinks the songs are on your computer.... [19:19] Slart: i'm new to ubuntu and linux [19:19] tarelerulz: i've installed gentoo probably over 500 times on many many servers and have never had inconsistencies like that [19:19] is there a way to add an option to a gdm login to run a script when you click it? [19:19] cybo: I'm a bit busy.. and appearances can be deceiving.. I might just be lucky =) [19:19] Shi-Lang, is it a problem with the download or the cd image/cd burner? [19:19] Enkidu_ak: you could have just done handle tarbombs with care :P [19:19] InvisiblePinkUni: I take that back, adding an individual file did not work [19:19] PurpZeY: just go the directory from totem... and then do a Ctrl+A(select all) and add it [19:19] Shi-Lang: Do you got to start ot install.. the first screen? [19:19] no the hash check is perfect [19:19] Slart: thxn [19:19] Enkidu_ak: khaotik; yeah, assuming it's not a tarbomb though you should be fine [19:20] i want APT for packages [19:20] PurpZeY: how did you ssh into it? [19:20] and i cant burn on a different drive because my other burner is incomptible wih the dvds i have [19:20] Slart: nothing shows up [19:20] Enkidu_ak: khaotik; in which case create a dir, and use tar -C /path/to/new/dir -xvzf my.tar.gz [19:20] InvisiblePinkUni: Totem is actually telling me that those folders aren't there...It is showing me /media but not those drives [19:20] can anyone help me with internet connection. i can't access it. i'm new to linux and ubuntu [19:20] is there a ubuntu only iso for gparted-live CD or is it non-distro related? [19:20] Shi-Lang: Do you get to a screen that says.. start ot install.. the first screen? [19:20] Slart: i've only found two pages that actually do this to me so far, the other one is netscape.com [19:20] Shi-Lang, what speed are you burning at, it used to be recommended to only burn at a lower speed, i've used 5.10 so i can't help with the error [19:20] cybo what kind of internet connection. [19:21] 2.1x [19:21] EtteSB: non-distro related [19:21] PurpZeY: how did you ssh into that machine? [19:21] InvisiblePinkUni: I didn't that I know of. I just did ssh:// in nautilis and it asked me for my login for that machine [19:21] this channel should probably be broken down to sub topics.. so busy in here! [19:21] NixerX the regular one [19:21] EtteSB: you can use the ubuntu livecd and just install gparted during your livecd session [19:21] zhegao: hmm... what's odd.. if you search for say.. "linux" do you still get 0 hits? [19:21] Jack_Sparrow: thanks [19:21] ive burnt at the slowest possible speed and I still get the I/O error [19:21] Modem, Ethenet, Wireless [19:21] what one [19:21] EtteSB: The gparted livecd is stand alone partitioner.. not to be confused with gparted on the ubuntu livecd [19:21] during the installation of Ubuntu [19:21] NixerX were u able to access internet right after u installed ubuntu? [19:21] PurpZeY: hold on a minute... i'll check how mine works... [19:21] EtteSB, there is a live cd just for gparted, try http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [19:22] Slart: i get a lot of results for linux [19:22] KlrSpz , I can say I still like Ubuntu more . It is the best at auto detecing the best. I could not get the sound working and that is about it. Then I did fast search on google and I was done [19:22] wizzo_: it's kind of strange.. can you ping the ip-number of popboys.com? or just "ping pepboys.com" ? [19:22] how can I simply disable/enable internet connection from command line? [19:22] InvisiblePinkUni: Yeah, oddly, totem isn't even seeing that directory in /media anymore [19:22] cybo Yes.. but I plug in via ethernet === narg_ is now known as narg [19:22] Shi-Lang: Do you get to a screen that says.. start ot install.. the first screen? [19:22] dns problem,maybe??? [19:22] zhegao: ok.. in the settings menu in synaptic, press "repositories" [19:22] Slart: the main goal im getting at is wireless connectivity, should i be downloading ndviswrapper instead? [19:22] NixerX_ i'm also plugged in via ethernet but it didn't work [19:22] NixerX_ any advice? [19:22] Hey Guys [19:23] Slart: oh i havent tried that... just got 100% packet loss === dusty_ is now known as dusty-sts [19:23] tarelerulz: it doesn't do any more autodetecting than gentoo would/could... in reality, ubuntu compiles just about every piece of hardware as a module.. which is why gentoo can/usuallyis better; in that you can specify your hardware and build specifically for it minimizing your kernel, compile times, and even run times [19:23] zhegao: I'm not sure.. I don't run wireless myself.. but we'll find your wireless assistant package, don't worry [19:23] cybo yea.... click on the applications menu then accessories and open terminal [19:23] look when I am trying to intall Ubuntu 7.10 with the copy I burnt, at the slowest speed, its loads up Ubuntu off the cd just fine, but as it is installing the OS itself I get [Err 5] Input/Output error [19:23] Slart: ok, so i'm at the repository [19:23] wizzo_: then something is blocking... you say these sites works sometimes? [19:24] tarelerulz: the kernel will only load the module that is necessary, which in ubuntu's case has a ton to pick from.. in terms of gentoo, you can do that as well with genkernel, but i've never used that, i've always compiled everything [19:24] NixerX_ i'm currently not using ubutu. is it possible for you to walk me through [19:24] Hey does any one have a new Dell Inspiron 1720 I am looking at buying one just not sure if it will work well with ubuntu === di[a]fic is now known as diafic [19:24] zhegao: you can enable all the different repositories there.. make sure there is a checkmark before each one of them..

[19:25] NixerX_, i'm new to linux. what is NIC [19:25] zhegao: press close.. you might get a dialog window that says it needs to update the list.. do that [19:25] cybo, Network Interface Card [19:25] cybo, network interface card [19:25] Shi-Lang: Are you trying to dual boot? Install on raid? install in vm or wubi or some other non-standard install? [19:25] cybe: network interface card [19:25] cybo, NIC = Network Interface Card... not related to lniux [19:25] thnx [19:25] I am installing on a new 80GB hard drive [19:25] can anyone help me get my broadcom working [19:25] NixerX_ let me see [19:26] that is all [19:26] cybo did the internet work with the live CD when you isntalled? === Nikki885 is now known as Nikki85 [19:26] hey again. i am still trying to get my seagate freeagent working with ubuntu 7.1. it is formatted with ntfs, ntfs3g is installed, and i am only trying to read from the drive. the drive still mounts only on boot and is accessible at that time (and continues to be indefinitely as long as it is accessed continuously), but if it is allowed to idle for even two minutes it will cause an "unsafe removal error" when i attempt to access it. so far i [19:26] slart: the only installs i've done are updates [19:26] khaotik: hmm, should be plug n play.. what's not working [19:26] PurpZeY: open totem, now try adding a file.... and do this in Location: ssh://username@machineip/path/to/directory/ [19:26] NixerX_ no [19:26] klrspz: what should i be looking for in the tracepath? [19:26] cybo thats not a good sign...laptop or desktop? [19:26] Shi-Lang: I prefer to stay here... just needed to clarify those things for people trying to help you. What type of hd.. ide or sata? laptop or desktop [19:26] cal-mac: have you done any tests on the drive? sounds like a smart failure [19:26] my machine is not picking it up in restricted drivers so i cant enable it [19:27] hey ive lost my login manager button in system > preferences, also ive lost my shutdown and restart buttons help! [19:27] NixerX_, my friend helped me to install it. so i don't actually know. i'm using a laptop [19:27] wizzo_: a failure in hops? it might be a local dns server is down, or your dns just isn't configured properly [19:27] Does anyone know how to import song titles from a text file using EasyTag? [19:27] annonymouse: By chance have you ever run automatix? or envy.. both bad ideas by the way [19:27] cybo, damn.. [19:27] no i havebt Jack_Sparrow [19:27] i loaded kde [19:27] yeah, i hate how ppl suggest running envy [19:27] and uninstalled it [19:27] cybo that maynot be a good thing. Do you have a Wireless Netowrk? [19:28] annonymouse: From repos or from the web [19:28] NixerX_, yes [19:28] wizzo_: . KlrSpz: dns lookup returns the correct ip.. he just can't send any data to it.. [19:28] annonymouse: reisntall ubuntu-desktop [19:28] ide hd [19:28] desktop [19:28] how [19:28] Slart: send data to it? i don't follow? [19:28] cybo, tell me what WiFi Card you have.. [19:28] Slart: like can't browse the site? [19:28] KlrSpz: ping doesn't get there, he can't browse the site etc [19:29] PurpZeY: is it working now? [19:29] Slart: can you ping? i'm behind a corporate firewall so i can't [19:29] but i CAN browse it [19:29] NixerX_, Broadcom 54g [19:29] only obvious thing i can think of is clearing the cache.. do other sites work fine? [19:30] KlrSpz: well.. when I ping I get "filtered" as result.. but I can browse the site [19:30] Shi-Lang: at the first screen start of install.. use F6 then ide=nodma before -- [19:30] klrspz: i also cant get to netscape.com other sites are working fine though [19:30] 168.220.64.64 is the ip i have [19:30] k [19:30] i am having to use a USB wireless adapter to. i would really like to use the internal one i got. [19:30] KlrSpz: yup.. same here and same for wizzo_ [19:30] Hi, I just installed ubuntu with wubi... my sound doesn't work, I have a soundblaster audigy eX sound card, that doesn't have linux drivers [19:30] on factory 5.10 or the 7.10 ubuntu? [19:30] hey i just installed ubuntu, but it will not connect to the update server and the aptget server to install programs [19:30] cybo, Whats probably happening is that you have security settings on your WiFi. [19:30] wizzo_: that's strange... i've never heard of a dns reporting back properly and not actually connecting like that.. have you tried other browsers for the sake of it? [19:30] but i am able to get on firefox and irc [19:31] klrspz: yes i've tried in firefox and in opera [19:31] that way i can use all of my USB ports for other things [19:31] straaange [19:31] klrspz: i thought it was weird also [19:31] NixerX_, so any way to remove it? [19:31] Ironman1: try another server in "system, administration, software sources" [19:31] Sparrow: on factory 5.10 or the 7.10 ubuntu? [19:31] nick wnorrix [19:31] where do i get other servers from [19:31] InvisiblePinkUni: Still that same error...Even weirder...If I double click on one of those files, it plays...but if I do "copy location" and paste the same location into totem it won't play [19:31] wizzo_: only other thing i can suggest is check your firewalls and/or call your ISP see if something weird is up on their end? [19:31] hello,i had a question that is maybe too simple to find in documentation. i simply want to do web dev in php sql etc and also learn about running the server side. i'd like to run the desktop version of ubunto but not sure that will let me run wamp like i did on winnt. can i use the desktop version and still run apache? [19:32] Shi-Lang: use 7.10 [19:32] Ironman1: well... in "system, administration, software sources" perhaps [19:32] PurpZeY: I take that back, small typo on my part, ignore that last bit [19:32] k [19:32] cuz it sounds like the TCP packets are at least being translated properly through the dns [19:32] Ironman1: System>Administration>Software Sources, and you can pick a different mirror [19:32] thx [19:32] Mayalaya: course [19:32] is there any client that supports MSN audio chat? === Blinkiz is now known as Blinkiz^away [19:32] err, sorry, UDP [19:32] cybo, Without knowing if your Wifi card is explictly supported I can only point you in this direction: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/wireless.html [19:32] and linux doesn't cache dns entries [19:32] NixerX, thnx [19:32] aoupi, you could try aMSN, I think that may do [19:32] Shi-Lang: there are several option you can try on that page... noapic works on many of my laptops that had a problem [19:32] !away > Blinkiz^away (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [19:32] dgjones: nope [19:32] NixerX_, i appreciate all the help [19:32] aoupi: amsn,possibly?? [19:32] okay [19:32] whats magic [19:32] Mayalaya: the only difference between the server and desktop ubuntus are the packages preloaded on the disk. you can add as many other different packages as you want [19:32] its working thx [19:33] I plugged a usb drive in, and it mounted to a folder in /media. How can i figure out which device it is? [19:33] cybo Ubuntu has grat docs so it wont be hard to figure it out.. worst case you have to buy a supported Nic....NBD [19:33] klrspz: . slart: thanks for your help [19:33] InvisiblePinkUni: I think I actually figured something productive out though [19:33] rikkimaru: use "mount" command [19:33] thank you drebellion! [19:33] wizzo_: np [19:33] KlrSpz, wizzo_: I suppose being at work, with a very strict network admin would explain this too.. but then you'd get some kind of "You're nto allowed to go to this site" message [19:33] did anyone reply to me? I may have missed it, heh [19:33] hey guys, i cant get my printer to work in linux, so i want to do it in windows. how can i virtualize windows in linux? vmware? xen? [19:33] Mayalaya: no problem [19:33] NixerX_, thnx [19:33] wizzo_: you're welcome.. hope you figure it out [19:33] PurpZeY: whats it... [19:33] AMDfanboy: I recommend VirtualBox [19:33] Slart: yeah generally... [19:33] cybo anytime [19:33] and actually, can i print in virtualized wnidows? ie does it have access to the hardware? [19:33] PurpZeY: what are you doing now... [19:33] qemu [19:34] hey just reinstalled ubuntu-desktop but made no differnce still dont have a login manager or shutdown or restart button, [19:34] AMDfanboy: yes, you can [19:34] anyone know a good password cracking channel? [19:34] np [19:34] !illegal | khaotik [19:34] khaotik: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [19:34] !piracy | khaotik [19:34] too slow [19:34] my bad. sorry [19:34] Pici: password cracking is not neccesarily illegal. he may want to know if his own password can be cracked easily [19:34] annonymouse: right click on the panel and hit add or whatever (i use xfce, not gnome) and look for the plugin [19:35] KlrSpz what panel [19:35] InvisiblePinkUni: Ok, well, the mistake I made, was that I was using "open file" not "open location"...So as soon as I pasted the address for that individual file into open location, no worries at all, it works. But I cannot add whole directories that way, nor can I browse them. . .So I can't Ctrl + A [19:35] virtualbox? what about xen and vmware? [19:35] DRebellion: I'd say password cracking falls under the quiestionably legal practices.. together with lots of other stuff that's not illegal [19:35] Virtualbox is grat [19:35] grat [19:35] Slart: pffft [19:35] =) [19:35] PurpZeY: oh ok... so open location works for adding the directory... [19:35] AMDfanboy: qemu is a possible emulator too.?? [19:35] is there a good way to get my sound working when there are no Linux drivers for my sound card? === nils__ is now known as brainless [19:35] InvisiblePinkUni: No not for directory, for individual mp3 [19:36] Slart: i could then say that linux is questionably illegal because i can install it and do illegal things with my computer [19:36] windows drivers via ndiswrapper Guydin [19:36] well my friend has got a computer that i am trying to load ubuntu on but it is asking for an admistrative password that niether of us know [19:36] ide=nodma-- or id=nodma -- ? [19:36] gemu is an emulator? [19:36] guydin: make your won drivers for it?? [19:36] thanks, I'll check that [19:36] AMDfanboy: yes [19:36] can i get an emulator? [19:36] DRebellion: indeed.. although I'd say password cracking is closer to the border =) [19:36] how does that work? [19:36] mr sparrow: ide=nodma-- or id=nodma -- ? [19:36] Shi-Lang: before the -- add ide=nodma [19:36] if you need help using ndiswrapper start a conversation with me [19:36] PurpZeY: but... if you do ssh://username@machine/path/ where you not able to browse? [19:36] its like a system password or something [19:37] space or no space between nodma and '--'? [19:37] guydin: make your own drivers for it [19:37] khaotik: Are you asking about the root password? [19:37] Slart: i wouldn't say its a border... more a fuzzy, squiggly line with infinite loops and quantum jumps ;) [19:37] khaotik: you can reset the password quite easily.. if you boot from a live cd.. unless the hard drive is encrypted etc [19:37] space [19:37] k [19:37] KlrSpz: i dont understand what u mean [19:37] i believe so. i think the password is actually in the BIOS or something [19:37] DRebellion: sounds about right=) [19:37] khaotik, is the livecd booting? or do you mean that you need to find the bios password to change the boot order so that you can boot from cd [19:37] annonymouse: right click on your toolbar panel, the one with the application menu and such... and there should be a way to add plugins.. the reset button is a plugin [19:38] InvisiblePinkUni: Ok, I can browse and add, but I cannot add sub-folders [19:38] khaotik, sounds like you just answered my last question [19:38] if you want to reset your bios password, just pull the battery out of your motherboard for a few minutes [19:38] anyone having problems with brasero? i select a file and it selects another file [19:38] any ideas why [19:38] ? [19:38] khaotik: This is the Ubuntu support question, if you have a BIOS question that is more appropriate for ##hardware. [19:38] khaotik: ah.. then just remove the bios battery from the motherboard.. get a cup of coffee.. watch some tv. and put it back in.. password gone [19:38] khaotik: s/question/channel/ [19:38] annonymouse: as for the login manager, not sure.. i use xfce and dont' use a graphical login [19:38] khaotik: the password is hashed through a one way algorithm and stored in /etc/passwd [19:38] DRebellion: If someone had a legitimate concern for their own passowrd security, they would not open with that sentence [19:38] help / edit menus / remove form panel / lock to panel i dont think thats right is it [19:39] PurpZeY: yes, you cant add subfolders... but what you can do is... go into that folder... add all the items... and then you can save the playlist in totem... [19:39] !offtopic | khaotik DRebellion [19:39] khaotik DRebellion: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [19:39] annonymouse: right click somewhere empty [19:39] on the panel [19:39] InvisiblePinkUni: Is this a function of ssh or totem, what i mean is, I got a ton of subfolders, is there any way to avoid this?

[19:41] PurpZeY: what I can think of is... if you can get the playlist from your media machine... and then add "ssh://username@machine/ before each file.... it should be easy [19:41] khaotik: huh? [19:41] Can someone get problems wih eth and tulip? [19:41] I can try that [19:41] !vmware [19:41] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it.

[19:45] but i just know that most apps won't connect via ssh like that, specifically because it's not a filesystem spec [19:45] so what's that 99 cent solution? o.,o [19:45] hi, all [19:45] muskie: Buy a cable [19:45] Jupp2: do you need the whole desktop or individual programs. if its the latter then you can choose to forward graphical programs over ssh: ssh -X user@host then run a graphical program from the cmdline [19:45] Guydin: don't think so?

[20:24] Hammer89: Have to turn it on in alsa-mixer... [20:24] PurpZeY: after you restarted your server? [20:24] Jack_Sparrow: I have Dapper. [20:24] !alsa | Hammer89 [20:24] Hammer89: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [20:24] michelecs: hahahahaha [20:24] InvisiblePinkUni: Physically restarted the machine? [20:24] stmartin:There was not safe writing to ntfs when that was released.. NOt surprised not all the tools where backported to it.. [20:24] PurpZeY: yes.... [20:24] if I install Ubuntu form the live CD and choose the option to repartition my drive will it automatically move files windows files to the start of the drive? [20:24] I'm assuming no [20:24] Hammer89, does the hardware work properly ? [20:24] from* [20:24] vlt: use top/htop/system monitor or any other software that shows you the processes [20:24] PurpZeY: if its not a problem.... [20:24] InvisiblePinkUni: I misunderstood, I am restarting now, it's a fast box, only take a sec. . . [20:25] what help ......... [20:25] vlt: you could run a plain "ps -A" too [20:25] PurpZeY: mine takes 2 mins... :) [20:25] neverblue: sound works fine... it just doesnt recognize my headphones (I plug them in... but the sound still comes from my speakers... it's a toshiba satellite laptop) [20:25] ArthurArchnix: I've removed compiz, but now I'm getting this message when I try to set the visual settings to normal or extra: Failed to execute the child process "compiz" (no such file or directory) [20:25] Slart: Did you look at my pastebinned top output? [20:25] Hammer89, does the headphones work fine ?

[20:25] bjames: windows is on entire partition, it will put windows partition at beginning of drive and ubuntu on next partition [20:25] Jack_Sparrow: can u tell me how to search on this channel more about NTFS Configuration tool for ubuntu dapper [20:25] bjames: yes, but please defrag your windows drive before doing it [20:25] sorry, /usr/bin/vim.tiny [20:26] neverblue: it's not the headphones.... they work fine with my mp3 plater [20:26] *player [20:26] bjames: if you have ntfs, make sure you defragment first [20:26] InvisiblePinkUni: Ok, back up and running. [20:26] stmartin: I doubt you will find it specifically for Dapper... [20:26] PurpZeY: please do ps aux | grep sshd and let me know [20:26] Hammer89, so when the headphones are plugged in, you still hear audio via your onboard speakers ? [20:26] neverblue: yes [20:26] danmurf: Can you open a terminal? If so, open one and type without quotes "gconf-editor" [20:26] Hammer89, is it a USB headset ? [20:26] PurpZeY: thats pretty fast... vat box do you have? [20:26] I am currently defragging [20:26] Jack_Sparrow: why? [20:26] vlt: hmm.. seems like top is the only thing running in that screenshot [20:26] neverblue: no [20:26] the reason I asked was because the data is still spread over the drive [20:26] ArthurArchnix: ok [20:26] neverblue: standard headphone jack [20:27] InvisiblePinkUni: Nope, the only thing running is the grep [20:27] Hit Ctrl+F to search, type in window, and check the keyname box. [20:27] there is no nice contiguous block that takes up (eg) half the drive [20:27] Hammer89, does your headphone jack (on the laptop) work ? [20:27] i don't think so its ntfsprogs www.linux-ntfs.org [20:27] PurpZeY: grrrrrrrrrrrr [20:27] vlt: if you close top down and just let the computer sit idle for 5 minutes.. will uptime still show 1.0 1.0 1.0 ? [20:27] cann anyone in here tell me what folder the desktop backgrounds are in [20:27] anyone know howto disable the animated cursor when loading an app the circle clock thing or when you drag a window the hand that? [20:27] neverblue: under windows, yes... under Ubuntu, no... that's my problem :) [20:27] i have asked this 3 times now and no response [20:27] See the value at the top, desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager [20:27] InvisiblePinkUni: I never set it up to run on startup...Never got that explanation or followed that tutorial b/c it hasn't worked yet. [20:27] stmartin: I just told you... NTFS write was not stable when Dapper was released.. It is just now stable.. You can get ntfs-3g which you did but dont expect the other tools to be available for an older release [20:27] ArthurArchnix: yup [20:27] Hammer89, so all the hardware seems to work, its a software issue, from my assumption [20:27] neverblue: Aye. [20:28] I used to own Norton and that would defrag and place files at the start of the drive, but Windows standard defrag does now [20:28] Change the default value from compiz to metacity. Just click in there to edit, delete compiz, and type metacity. A log out and login should fix things. [20:28] ok, I am cloning a linux partition to another computer. The computer has slightly different hardware specs. What script do I run to get it to research for the proper hardware? [20:28] not* [20:28] Hammer89, you need to check about the drivers for your audio card [20:28] WHAT FOLDER ARE THE DESKTOP BACKGROUNDS IN?????I HAVE ASKED REPEATEDLY WITH NO HELP [20:28] ArthurArchnix: hmmm, it's already set to /usr/bin/metacity [20:28] is there a reverse command for 'mkpasswd'? [20:28] jdh6403, no caps please [20:28] jdh6403: stop shouting [20:28] PurpZeY: what happens when you do => sudo apt-get install openssh-server [20:28] Madagascar: For the most part it should recognize the difference. [20:28] i just want a simple answer [20:28] danmurf: What's the error message you get at login? [20:28] neverblue: I'm actually not certain what audio card my laptop shipped with.... [20:29] i have asked 5 times now and no response [20:29] Hammer89, use lspci to find out :) [20:29] Slart: Yes, I ran top just for the short moment to dump its output to a file. [20:29] jdh6403: maybe the people on the channel are busy solving other problems [20:29] bjames, i'd also suggest using something like perfectdisk which has an option to consolidate free space, that should give you a larger area of free space to install to (it has a 30 day free trial) [20:29] jdh6403: maybe the people on the channel are busy solving other problems [20:29] ArthurArchnix: no error at login, only when I change the visual extras to normal or extra [20:29] !patience | jdh6403 [20:29] jdh6403: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [20:29] InvisiblePinkUni: Already installed [20:29] jdh6403: just hang in there and be patient [20:29] ok thanks [20:29] dgjones: cheers for the info - that's the answer I was looking for [20:29] GOKU, so you want your window selector to work differently, can you please be more clear about what your asking ? [20:29] jdh6403: There is no specific folder for that [20:29] danmurf: Oh, yeah that makes sense because compiz isn't on your system. Are you still seeing the fire effects? [20:29] ;) [20:29] bjames you can also get a gparted live cd that works awesome [20:29] opps [20:29] is there an opposite of mkpasswd? [20:29] wrong history, sorry GOKU [20:30] jdh6403: /usr/share/backgrounds [20:30] wallpapers /usr/share/backgrounds [20:30] jdh6403 maybe I can help with your question. [20:30] neverblue: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio [20:30] jdh6403, calm down. perhaps nobody who's active knows, you're not *guaranteed* to get help, this channel is made of volunteers. i'm not even on GNOME, but a guess... perhaps if you click on the button that lets you add a new background in the preferences, the file dialog that will show up will indicate the directory you're in by default when looking for backgrounds...? [20:30] ArthurArchnix: Failed to execute child process "compiz" (no such file or directory) [20:30] Madagascar: is there no gparted on the Ubuntu desktop install CD? [20:30] who has a good deal of experience with setting up and running LDAP -- I want to learn to use it, I have read the openldap.org tutorial, but I have no idea where to start [20:30] well gnome art downloaded them and stuck them somewhere and i cant find them now [20:30] PurpZeY: so its installed but not running? [20:30] Hammer89, now you know :) [20:30] wallpapers /usr/share/backgrounds [20:30] InvisiblePinkUni: That seems to be the case [20:30] ArthurArchnix: not anymore, looks like there's no effects at all now [20:30] ty Drakx_ [20:30] yw [20:30] danmurf: Right.... is that not what you wanted? [20:30] Hammer89, was it working before, then stopped, or has it not ever worked since your install ? [20:30] PurpZeY: try => sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start [20:30] neverblue: never worked... not even under the LiveCD [20:30] bjames possibly :) [20:31] InvisiblePinkUni: "OpenBSD Secure Shell server not in use (/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run)" [20:31] PurpZeY: normally openssh server starts on booting up... [20:31] Hammer89, consult the forums for ppl with the same issues/same card [20:31] ArthurArchnix: yup I wanted to remove compiz plus all the extra effects stuff it added, but I want the original gnome default effects which I can't seem to get back now [20:31] bjames, i've just done an install on a new machine, i ran defrag, then perfect disk, then booted with live cd, manually created partitions with gparted and then did the install manually specifying partitions after checking that windows still worked, as always though make a backup if possible [20:31] Hammer89, thats going to be your best bet [20:31] neverblue: okay [20:31] PurpZeY: hmmmm [20:31] neverblue: will do :) [20:31] danmurf: I think I understand now. You want the same effects as after a clean gutsy install, is that right? [20:31] PurpZeY: remove this file then [20:31] dgjones: I keep all my data on a separate drive [20:32] why does vim work correctly when run from /usr/bin/vim.tiny and messes up arrow keys when run through the vi or vim shortcut/symlink? [20:32] Tramp: eh ? [20:32] I don't trust Windows to install and NOT try and eat the whole disk [20:32] i used synaptic package manager to install ntfsprogs but the ver that i found is old (i don't exactly know how much old) and update manager didn't provide the newest ver what can i do ? without dealing with the source code [20:32] ArthurArchnix: yup, like when you minimise and faded menus etc [20:32] PurpZeY: rm /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run [20:32] Tramp: That safe? [20:32] Hi guys...I've just had to reboot my machine. When I rebooted I found that my keyboard would not work until the grub loader had gone past the 7 second time limit...I could not choose anything other than the first option....can someone help? [20:33] Ok... open your home folder and view hidden files [20:33] PurpZeY: try to completely remove openssh using synaptic... and then reinstall it... [20:33] mikebeecham [20:33] mikebeecham: check connections for keyboard [20:33] InvisiblePinkUni: Can I just mark for reinstallation ? [20:33] PurpZeY: why not? [20:33] PurpZeY: do that and see if it works on startup... [20:33] lo all... anyone know anything about software raid with ubuntu server? o_0 [20:33] mikebeecham is it a usb keyboard [20:33] ok [20:33] Tramp: B/C I have no idea what it is. [20:33] qrsdhq: yes it is...the moment the time has run out, the keyboard fires back up [20:33] go to .config and rename the compiz folder to "compiz_bakup" [20:33] PurpZeY: preferably remove it completely... uninstall and then install again..... [20:34] PurpZeY: i will be back in 10 mins.... [20:34] Drakx_: I did do, and swapped all the usb connections round just to make sure they were all in ok [20:34] danmurf: see above [20:34] InvisiblePinkUni: Which packages? [20:34] ok [20:34] can ubuntu be installed with / on an encrypted volume on a raid array? [20:34] anyone, please halp. whenever i try to change song in rhythmbox, it crashes and makes me force quit. can this be fixed? ive tried reinstalling from SPM but to no avail [20:35] ok [20:35] how can I download all the updates through the command line [20:35] qrsdhq: when it all went wrong, I was installing a game through wine...the game fired up and locked the machine up. I then had to manually switch the computer off and on again. it was then that I noticed the problem [20:35] kopmputes: apt-get update [20:35] apt-get upgrade [20:35] another random question - I'm going to be using GIMP and I have a nice amount of RAM (3GB), I was thinking of a 1 GB swap partition (just in case), but was wondering if anyone has any advice to the contrary? [20:35] check that your bios has legacy USB support enabled. [20:35] Ok, now open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install compiz" [20:35] komputes: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade or sudo apt-get update [20:35] it is disabled at the moment [20:35] I checked the bios [20:36] Drakx_ and [20:36] qrsdhq: should it be enabled? [20:36] yes [20:36] ok brb [20:36] hi all, is there a way to upgrade from fiesty to gusty via apt-get ? [20:36] anyone??? [20:37] ok installing now :) thanks for this! [20:37] jbr_ux: so apt-get update gets the list and apt-get upgrade, downloads it all? [20:37] satch5150 satriant and Peavey 5150? [20:37] yes [20:37] satch5150: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" is the command I think [20:37] satriani [20:37] jbr_ux: tyvm [20:37] NiverX_: actually more 5150 the album, but otherwise you're correct :) [20:37] how do you format a drive for fat32? [20:37] please... anyone [20:37] satch5150 kick ass anyway! [20:38] !upgrade | satch5150 [20:38] satch5150: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [20:38] PurpZeY: When you installed the system, you probably answered the question, if you want to run sshd with "No". Now you want to run it, so remove the file. [20:38] thanks :) [20:38] zilla: give another music player ago [20:38] satch5150 do you play guitar? [20:38] yea :) [20:38] does the ubuntu installer support luks? [20:38] danmurf: Once it's back to normal and everything seems to be working fine, you can delete that old configuration folder called compiz_backup if you like. But be sure you've got it working right first. [20:38] !ssh [20:38] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [20:38] well, I beat on it and noise comes out :) [20:38] satch5150 me too....wanna brag about your gear?

I can connect to pop3, http, or squid through the internet (adsl modem) but smtp does not work [20:39] ArthurArchnix: the fire has come back lol [20:39] I'm looking for some decent recent instructions on how to setup pam-mount to automount an encrypted partition at login.

[20:40] qrsdhq: thank you mate...that worked a treat [20:40] satch5150 No sh!t..ol skoo 550? [20:40] no problem, glad it worked [20:40] jbr_ux: do you have another machine or a virtualised machine you can use to test it on 7.10? [20:40] komputes: edit /etc/apt/sources.list [20:40] Tramp: I just reinstalled the package, if I get that error again, I will look what you are suggesting, but I just want to make sure it's a safe and recommended thing to do, not just a quick fix that will cause me aggravation later [20:40] yup :) [20:40] danmurf: Wow. That's crazy. All I can say then is to change it manually through the compiz config settings manager. [20:40] no [20:40] i've had it almost 15 years [20:40] satch5150 black with maple FB? [20:40] qrsdhq: if only everything was that easy, eh? [20:40] it always throughs the error after loading (with the bar), and after six errors, it goes into another dialog.

In theory at least it should completely purge compiz from your system and remove all settings. My recommendatino though is to change the settings manually through the settings manager.

[20:48] psweetma: or /etc/udev/rules.d/24-persistent-net.rules [20:48] psweetma: look in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [20:48] thanks vlt, i've never used that file before but it looks like it would do the trick. there are mentions of it being obsolete tho [20:48] osx5: same problem regardless of browser [20:48] vlt, yeah i was going to look at that [20:49] thanks too Slart, i'll check it out [20:49] satch5150 what makes it robot?

[20:51] osx5 got pix? [20:51] i can connect to any server only through the smtp i'm unable to connect - the firewall passes anything [20:51] ah, ok, so my old m/b's MAC has got into the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file somehow assigned to eth0. guess that's why the new m/b's NIC isn't allowed to use eth0 [20:51] InvisiblePinkUni: I don't know if you are back but I had to reboot the laptop...I am back now. [20:51] PurpZeY: you there? [20:51] I have more than a wolfgang , I have a std american strat, Charvel Custom SHop , I used to work at a guitar shop [20:51] yea nixer whats your email?

Having problems with ipod touch + amarok + ipod-convenience. I can transfer files over to it but they don't appear in "Music" icon on ipod touch. Any ipod touch users around? :) [20:53] last year, i bought my youngest brother an Ibanez GSA60 - only $200 but I was blown away by thte quality of the sound [20:53] PurpZeY: so, you are able to ssh normally onto your server? [20:53] the pci bus id [20:54] ??? [20:54] InvisiblePinkUni: At the moment if I try ssh user@192.168.1.3 I am getting an error about known hosts and RSA host key changing [20:54] zhegao, lspci -n will give you the pci id on that bus [20:54] ciao [20:54] satch5150 I never tried them... made in korea? [20:54] satch I like peavey's korean stuff === Randompottymouth is now known as Randompolygamy [20:55] InvisiblePinkUni: I can pastebin it if you like, but it says that RSA Host Key has changed and host key verification failed [20:55] PurpZeY: ok... lets fix that first.... [20:55] I dunno, probably, they're the low end models, but wow do they sound good [20:55] cliebow: there are pages of information, which one tells me exactly what the pci id is? i'm sorry but i'm new to al this [20:55] satch5150 who knew. [20:55] osx5: i've never tried peavey anything [20:55] yea :) [20:55] PurpZeY: If you're sure nobody is doing bad things with your network you can delete the line from ~/.ssh/known_hosts and recheck the fingerprint [20:55] well, unless PA amps count :) [20:55] satch5150 its lke the mexican strats.. [20:55] how can I completely disable Ubuntu from shutting off the screen after X minutes? [20:55] PurpZeY: you need to remove ~/.ssh/known_hosts file or the related entry [20:56] zhegao, [20:56] zhegao, try lspci -vvv that will show bus id of your wireless card [20:56] Hello ! i altered my xorg.conf file. Can i generate a new one ? I can't find any xorg.conf.default [20:56] yea, all my fender instruments are mex's - can't tell the difference though :) [20:56] i did that, but there is so much information after i do that [20:56] InvisiblePinkUni: Should i just remove all information from that file? [20:56] i don't even know where to look [20:56] lspci -n will tell you whatpci id is on that bus..then use google to figure out what card [20:57] PurpZeY: Just the line it's complaining about [20:57] satch5150 I know.. the snobbery kills me. [20:57] PurpZeY: yes... just delete that file... no harm done... or you can mv that file to another directory for backups... [20:57] to save you guys email space.. [20:57] yea :) [20:57] When I plug my headphones into my laptop the sound comes out of both the computer speakers, and the headphones... anyone know what I can do about this? [20:57] http://travel.webshots.com/photo/1444446358059177067dLWufg [20:57] that's a replica i bought [20:57] my best friend has an yngwie malmsteen signature strat [20:57] from big head guitars [20:57] but there are so many lines after i use the lspci, which one is it? [20:57] PurpZeY: yes... if you know which line... you can remove just that line... but its not critical file... [20:57] Hammer89: fix the laptop? (I thought this was a hw feature) [20:58] satch5150 I gotta go do some work. [20:58] but I like the way mine sounds better :) [20:58] vlt: everything works fine under windows... it's software [20:58] ok, nice talking to you MixerX_ [20:58] hit me up on the hccf....same nick [20:58] NixerX [20:58] InvisiblePinkUni: Ok, done, let's try this again [20:58] ok :) [20:58] osx5 you too... you lucky bastard [20:58] see ya round :) [20:58] lol [20:58] * vlt doubts that everything works fine under windows ... [20:59] what is hccf [20:59] InvisiblePinkUni: Ok, I was able to ssh in via terminal [20:59] and oes anyone know the correct name for emensesne or whatever that IM app is === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|AFCLI [20:59] PurpZeY: ok... now try opening those folders.... [20:59] vlt: LOL... no... JUST the headphones ;) [20:59] osx5 http://acapella.harmony-central.com [20:59] osx5: emensesne? gaim, pidgin, amsn are the ones I know of [20:59] Zhaozhou, lspci -v is good enough [21:00] hii. [21:00] heh [21:00] nice nixer [21:00] PurpZeY: the thing is... your servers... openssh is running now... if you want sshfs dont touch the server anymore... all we need to do is install sshfs on the client... [21:00] InvisiblePinkUni: The folders open...now maybe I can drag drop the files. [21:00] PurpZeY: :) yes try it... [21:00] may anybody tell me if there is an special position where i have to put t [21:00] osx5: you don't mean em es en.. as in msn? [21:00] i am trying to install a dell printer 1720dn anyone able to help. This is a network printer, i got to the point where it asks for me to select my driver, but the right driver is not there, I am not sure what I need to download to get the driver tho... [21:00] no there's anotehr one [21:00] in the line vga=791 in the menu.lst = [21:00] ? [21:01] it's a s f project [21:01] universal platform [21:01] some guy tol me earlier about it [21:01] Hello. I got a load of "1.00 1.00 1.00" on a nearly idle machine for more than 50 hours now. This is a vmstat line "1 0 7776 79244 7980 82032 0 0 0 12 1793 735 0 0 100 0", this the output of `top`: http://pastebin.ca/844996 -- Any idea how to find out what causes this suspicious exact load of 1.00? [21:01] jakel1:postscript ? [21:01] InvisiblePinkUni: Ok, we are back at square one...."Location could not be found" . . . [21:01] is it smart to install updates that cannot be authenticated? [21:01] so i get PCI bridge: Intel Coporation 82801 Mobile PCI bridge, is this my wireless card then? [21:01] osx5: http://emesene.org [21:01] jbr_ux: yea... i'm looking for the postscript driver right now for it [21:01] hey whats the command to update all my programs? [21:01] i assume there is one [21:01] ty slart [21:01] PurpZeY: ok... do this... just open the folder where the songs are in... and open a song with totem... and tell me if you can play the single song... [21:02] is it smart to install updates that cannot be authenticated? [21:02] hi, is there an easy and fast way to set up an ftp server on my ubuntu gutsy machine so i can access it from other machines via ftp/wget/whatever? [21:02] sea1: if you trust your isp [21:02] ok, so back to the original reason I came here - how can I upgrade from fiesty to gusty via apt-get - i've used the dist-upgrade option but that's not what it does is it ? [21:02] and your network admins [21:02] InvisiblePinkUni: Yes. [21:02] sea1: depends on where you get them from.. if it's from badguysRus.ru.. I'd say no [21:02] i still seem to be using fiesty anyways [21:02] GoD^spyteman install vsftpd. and I think wuftp might be installed by default [21:02] I need help using pam-mount to auto-mount an encrypted partition upon successful login... I've got some instructions but they're very old (edgy) and I'm not sure how good they are anymore. A lot of changes in the last few years I would think. [21:02] PurpZeY: now.... select all the songs and drag 'em onto totem playlist.... [21:03] however i cnt seem to find a postscript driver on the website... dell doesn't even have a linux driver for that printer [21:03] hey whats the command to update all my programs [21:03] zhegao: Try lspci -v | grep "Network". This should list the network controller [21:03] PurpZeY: not directories... just the song files... [21:03] osx5: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [21:03] osx5: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade [21:03] ty [21:03] th0r do i need both or is wuftp enough? do these programs have a gui? [21:03] osx5: `aptitude update && aptitude update` [21:03] ah.. ArthurArchnix's suggestion is a little bit cooler than mine =) [21:03] how can i update my bios with linux? [21:03] InvisiblePinkUni: Yes, multiple songs, not a problem [21:04] skounis: ask the motherboard maker [21:04] skounis: depends on mobo [21:04] albatron [21:04] hi there! [21:04] ahhhh it says Broadcom corporation BCM4310 USB controller [21:04] how do i check where the updates are coming from/ [21:04] GoD^spyteman there is a gui I think for vsftpd but you have to install it separately. There is none for wuftpd that I know of. vsftpd is your better bet...more secure [21:04] im in the update manager [21:04] hey y'all, I'm trying to upgrade from 7/4 to 7/10, and when I open the update manager, I don't see the upgrade as an option. Anyone know how I can upgrade? (other than burning a CD and booting from it, that is) [21:04] but i don't use a usb controller? [21:04] !upgrade | matt___ [21:04] matt___: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [21:05] my GRUB freezes for 2 minutes, how can i fix it? (new installation) [21:05] sea1: well.. have you added any repositories? [21:05] for my wireless card, should i be looking at the etheret controller instead? [21:05] ubotu: thanks. reading it now. [21:05] zhegao: Maybe lspci -v | grep "ethernet". [21:05] ahh ok [21:05] matt___: My experience is: Do it over and over again ... until suddenly out of nothing a dialog appears that asks you if you'd like to upgrade ... [21:05] matt__:you can use a command to alter /etc/apt/sources.list like sed -e s/feisty/gutsy/g -i /etc/apt/sources.list [21:05] if I were to grab the sources.list file from the gusty distro, place on my fiesty server, would that work or would it turn my fileserver into the largest paperweight in the world ? :) [21:05] PurpZeY: supposing the name of the remote directory on your desktop is songs.... can you please do ls -l ~/Desktop/songs/*/* and tell me if it lists the songs in the subdirectories.... [21:06] alright thanks a lot, i'll give it a try [21:06] what should I use to develop in C/Gtk+ ? [21:06] InvisiblePinkUni: On the laptop, in the ssh window? [21:06] satch5150: it might work.. with a big "might".. upgrading the normal way is better [21:06] and slart, thanks a lot for the help on the wireless assistant, i got it downloaded, along with some other apps [21:06] (I am currently trying anjuta) [21:06] zhegao: you're welcome [21:06] tacone: gcc for C but you probably want an IDE [21:06] the normal way in this case being ? [21:06] InvisiblePinkUni: Or on the desktop itself? [21:06] PurpZeY: yes... on the laptop... but not in the ssh window... just a terminal window [21:06] zhegao: The text after grep is case sensenitive, so it should be Ethernet, not ethernet [21:07] satch5150: running sudo update-manager -c in a terminal [21:07] DRebellion: yes, which Ide (but anjuta) ? [21:07] InvisiblePinkUni: OHhhh I got it, ok [21:07] !upgrade | satch5150 [21:07] satch5150: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [21:07] PurpZeY: because your remote folder is supposed to be "mounted"... [21:07] tacone: personal preference [21:07] odd - is /etc/apt/sources.list supposed to reference edgy all over the place? [21:07] !idea | tacone [21:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about idea - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:07] !ide | tacone [21:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about ide - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:07] rotfl [21:07] slart: ok, that is the info I was looking for, thank you :) [21:07] matt___: you're running gutsy? are the lines with edgy commented out? [21:07] !grub [21:07] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [21:08] So anyone want to help me with a livecd problem? [21:08] you're welcome, satch5150 [21:08] !ask | ShaRose [21:08] ShaRose: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [21:08] k :P [21:08] Slart: no, I'm running 7/4 (feisty?) and no, they're not commented out. [21:08] ShaRose: shoot.. [21:08] what does the J flag on the channel mean? [21:09] anyone wanna pick my next song in amarok for me?.. [21:09] matt___: hmm.. then I guess.. no.. there shouldn't be edgy all over the place in your sources.list.. not afaik [21:09] iclebyte: massive attack - i against i [21:09] matt___: Do these instructions not work for you? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [21:09] iclebyte: i shot your dog by the flat head noodlers [21:09] PurpZeY: does it display files in the subdirectories? [21:09] whats the bash command to search for a file? [21:09] underdawg: grep [21:09] InvisiblePinkUni: Ok, so they do not appear in ls on the desktop, where they are supposed to be mounted....One of them appears as totally empty and the other is / on the other machine but it's still not even showing up in ls [21:09] InvisiblePinkUni: PurpZeY: could you not just use the 'tree' commmand? [21:09] underdawg: oops nm find or locate [21:09] underdawg: find ./ | grep -i filename [21:10] I have a problem running ubuntu on this computer. When it finishes loading (bar), my moniter complains about a non-supported refresh rate. Why question is how to force a refresh rate. [21:10] ok, one more question, where exactly do i find the .inf file for ndisgtk? [21:10] !find [21:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about find - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:10] *my [21:10] underdawg: but there are many ways.. [21:10] Slart: should it be gutsy? [21:10] ok, i ont seem to have a progam called upgrade-manager and apt-get can't find it :) [21:10] Hi I installed Ubuntu from the live CD then after the installation it rebooted and then where the start up screen would've been was just a black screen [21:10] matt___: does your computer work? run "lsb_release -a" in a terminal.. what does it say? [21:10] DRebellion, which albums that on? [21:10] iclebyte: erm dunno. its on their greatest hits album, Collected [21:10] I've tryed different screen res's, and safe graphics mode. [21:10] An idea to how generate a new xorg.conf ? Thx! [21:10] i've looked everywhere on the harddrive and nowhere does it have an .inf file for the wireless network drivers [21:10] Does anyone have any good references or sites as to where to start on setting up a linux server as an authentication server? [21:11] iclebyte: just listened to it. Massive Attack are amazing [21:11] ubuntu: alt-ctrl-f2 then login then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then select vesa driver and hit enter for everything else for default then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [21:11] Slart: yeah, it works fine otherwise - it tells me that I'm on feisty. [21:11] sp0ro: what sort of auth? [21:11] sporo: ldp.org [21:11] InvisiblePinkUni: Additionally, they are not showing up under "mount"...Although if I right click them I am asked if I want to unmount them.... [21:11] matt___: can you pastebin your sources.list ? [21:11] !paste | matt___ [21:11] matt___: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [21:11] DRebellion, I dont have that tune... settled for Hymn of the big wheel.. good shout my man. [21:11] is there a way to get nautilus to display japanese characters for filenames that contain them? right now it just shows wierd questionmark and dice looking characters [21:12] sure. [21:12] pike_, never heard of flat head noodlers =) [21:12] DRebellion: for network authorization, trying to setup an auth server to send out keys for a wireless network [21:12] one sec. [21:12] PurpZeY: hmmm... can you open the directory with nautilus and see the files? [21:12] btw: im using ubuntu server, so no X11 [21:12] sp0ro: you want to send keys _out_ ?! [21:12] DRebellion: but I have little experience with auth servers in general, so I figured I would start at the bottom and work my way up :) [21:12] Does anyone know how I can make VLC Player the default movie player for .avi and other movie files instead of the "Move player" ? [21:12] sp0ro: what exactly are you trying to achieve [21:12] please tell me upgrade-manager is a cli app :) [21:12] So any ideas? [21:12] Slart: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51390/ [21:13] Question. Using IFCONFIG (because my network manager won't work) How can I set an interface to connect and use dchp? [21:13] Or can you force a refresh rate? [21:13] satch5150: it's not, but it can be run from the command line and i THINK then it won't create a window... [21:13] LoneWolfUK: system > preferences > preferred applications [21:13] InvisiblePinkUni: For the one that is just 192.168.1.3, yes...The other, no, but I think I mounted it improperly earlier with the business w/ the spaces. . . [21:13] thank you [21:13] ubuntu seems to always pick 75, but mine supports 60 [21:13] matkix: /etx/network/interfaces [21:13] LoneWolfUK: right click the avi file and click on openwith tab [21:13] pike: thanks I'll try that [21:13] matkix: you use ifup and ifdown. not sure exactly where the config files are in ubuntu/debian [21:13] Anyone know why my computer is feeding sound through both the headphones and built in speakers (laptop) at the same time? [21:13] ShaRose, uhh... you can define the refresh rate in the xorg.conf file.. [21:13] LoneWolfUK: no problem [21:13] livecd [21:14] PurpZeY: ok... so sshfs is working... [21:14] i dont have a livecd here tho so i canne try it [21:14] InvisiblePinkUni: I can try to browse to one of those folders and try to mount it [21:14] I need to do it in the boot menu [21:14] so that begs the question then, where can I get it ? i typed in sudo apt-get install upgrade-manager and apt-get said it couldnt fine it [21:14] DRebellion: Let me explain, dynamic encryption keys for WPA2. I also want it to give pre-defined auth access to certain parts of the network to specific computers, probably through MAC addresses I would assume. I'm not sure, like I said, I have little experience with auth servers and want to start learning more about them. [21:14] PurpZeY: delete the other one thats not working...

[21:20] PurpZeY: a better idea would be... to put the files in a folder without any spaces & special characters... first just to test it... then you can try with the actual folder with spaces.... [21:20] oh yeah, it's 7.10 [21:20] DRebellion 25? or what is ftp port again? [21:21] GoD^spyteman: 21 i think [21:21] hi!

[21:22] but something happnd [21:22] matkix: you only need one line, or maybe two: essential line: iface eth0 inet dhcp . With that, you can use sudo ifup eth0 and sudo ifdown eth0 to start/stop. If you want the internet to come up automatically on boot, add the line auto eth0 . You can still control the connection with the two previous commands.

[21:34] it must be possible..... [21:34] nickrud: ok.. and now? change in fc-dafult? [21:34] PurpZeY: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [21:34] xif: yes, that's called the grub boot menu.

[21:36] cybergig: yes.. the package you install from the ubuntu repos downloads some files from the adobe site.. adobe did something to those files and thus broke the flash package.. it doesn't mean the files at adobe's site are broken.. it might be something else.. perhaps adobe just moved them.. or renamed them. or did any number of things that still breaks the ubuntu package [21:36] PurpZeY: any luck so far?

[21:42] donfede: gksudo gedit /etc/security/limits.conf [21:42] gnychis: edd the user that you want to be able to use sudo to /etc/sudoers. [21:42] hey all [21:42] PurpZeY: what do you see now on your desktop [21:42] does anyone know how to configure ffmpeg to work with floola? or just configure ffmpg? [21:42] mpeg [21:42] ffmpeg [21:43] nickrud: is that something the user would type in a terminal? is there a gui icon way for a user to start gedit as root? [21:43] xif, I don't know about that but it should work in the manual setup to get rid of it... but as I said, before you do anything such as deleting partitions to fix the problem you would need to backup data if you don't want to lose anything. [21:43] gnychis: sudo adduser admin [21:43] PurpZeY: do you have a templocaldir on your desktop? [21:43] * iclebyte wonders why ubuntu locks up when he tries to play a DVD... anyone else had this? [21:43] i'm trying to put together some directions for non-techy users to configure an ubuntu system http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/index.php/Install_under_Ubuntu_%28debrfa%29 [21:43] InvisiblePinkUni: For some weird reason I don't see the tmp folder on my desktop. [21:43] hey guys, how can I change the color depth on ubuntu? I mean, I managed to change it editing the xorg.conf file, but When I do that, my monitor just turn black when I try to start X. Any ideas? Needing color depth 16 or 32 here. [21:43] donfede: you can add a menu item if you like for a root gedit, but its generally a good idea to keep admin work in the terminal, it's a good isolator [21:43] InvisiblePinkUni: It's in ls, under desktop...do I have to chown it? [21:44] any1 with raid0 install? :) [21:44] nickrud, sup man? [21:44] shanks: coffee break :) [21:44] nickrud: ... generally yes ... but there is the system / administration menu... [21:44] nickrud, :D [21:44] PurpZeY: no.... [21:44] brobostigon: thanks, I added that to my notes.. [21:44] donfede: if you think it's easier to tell someone how to create a menu item yes [21:44] some background, I'm a long term debian user trying to make things friendlier for ubuntu folk [21:44] no menu, it's a one time edit [21:44] PurpZeY: but can you see the contents of the directory and its sub directories? [21:44] shanks: so when you changed depth 24 did you check to make sure the values in depth 16 or whatever were the same as 24? [21:45] ok [21:45] donfede: well.. I don't know if you'd call it a gui.. but you could ctrl+f2 and then type that same thing.. or just gksudo gedit [21:45] InvisiblePinkUni: I am an idiot...hang on, I created it on the remote machine b/c i wasn't paying attention.... [21:45] donfede: sorry, alt+f2 [21:45] pike_, ah... what? [21:45] PurpZeY: grrrrr..... hmmmm ok.... try on local machine... [21:45] brb [21:46] any1 with raid0 install? :) [21:46] InvisiblePinkUni: Ok. Got the dir now. [21:46] donfede: oh , you are a true supporter [21:46] shanks: like in xorg.conf you have a Depth 24 value. just below that are the resolutions associated with whichever depth you put for that value. if those are all the same id check horz and vert settings a bit further up the file youll need your monitor manual or google for those specific to your monitor [21:47] Did you guys hear that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was shot and killed by assassins of Putin, and George Bush is assisting in covering it up. [21:47] PurpZeY: ok... open the directory now... [21:47] PurpZeY: can you browse it properly... [21:47] !offtopic | skyline_- [21:47] skyline_-: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:47] pike_, actually uh, can't find anything like that on my xorg.conf [21:48] PurpZeY: i mean with nautilus [21:48] Slart: i like the alt+f2 ... why use gksudo instead of sudo? [21:48] any1 with raid0 install? :) [21:48] donfede: gksudo is meant for gui based programs [21:48] donfede: using sudo for gui apps is bad.. very bad.. but only rarely.. but when it is bad.. it's so bad you'll regret using it =) [21:48] gksudo = graphical , sudo =cli [21:49] does ubuntu support hdmi output? [21:49] Does anyone know how to tag several flac files by importing the info from a text file or by pasting the text in some field in the program? [21:49] actually [21:50] Hi all! If i 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop', will uninstalling it remove everything so my ordinary ubuntu will show no traces att all of it? Would like to try it, especially when KDE4 releases! [21:50] InvisiblePinkUni: Ok, this is interesting. I am able to mount them now, but even from my home directory to the desktop when I go to view the file it disappears [21:50] pike_, actually, when I change modes to 16, I can see the OS properly, but the window tabs gets all invisible, and so the Terminal, only a blank window. [21:50] Slart: nickrud ... alt+f2 "gksudo gedit /etc/security/limits.conf" did it for me. thanks kindly for your help. if I may help with linux audio apps I tend to hang out in those channels [21:50] donfede: you're welcome [21:51] could anyone help me with network sharing with xp [21:51] any1 with raid0 install? :) [21:51] NorthByNorthWest: not quite, all the dependencies will still be there, but you should be able to remove most things by then running apt-get autoremove [21:51] !samba | Imperial [21:51] Imperial: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [21:51] from xp i can see the laptop but asks for login, i type my login but it doesnt work [21:51] i have samba installed [21:52] nickrud you can hide the boot from the os? Didn't know that but when I install I don't get grub boot menu I get the auto boot to regular ubuntu with a key prees to select from grub [21:52] RadiantFire: Thnx! [21:52] PurpZeY: so its connecting... and then disappearing? [21:53] InvisiblePinkUni: Scratch that. It is completely connecting. I can mount files to the desktop [21:53] PurpZeY: :) [21:53] isn't there another samba you can get samba-x or somethingl ike that for fileserving? [21:53] shanks: thats wierd [21:53] PurpZeY: dont mount files... mount directories... [21:53] pike_, yeah, you tell me D: [21:53] cybergig: that's an option you can set in the menu.lst , it controls how your boot is handled. hiddenmenu controls that aspect [21:54] pike_, actually I need 32 or 16 to run a app under wine [21:54] InvisiblePinkUni: I'm not sure I follow the distinction? [21:54] cybergig: and it's not from the os, it's from the person looking at the screen [21:54] nickrud well I didn't have to do that all I did was install ubuntu with no partitions and it set up grub to auto hide.. [21:54] PurpZeY: also add this to your /etc/ssh/ssh_config file ServerAliveInterval 5 [21:54] cybergig: and I had windows, so it defaulted to showing [21:54] PurpZeY: oh i mean... dont mount individual files... just mount directories... [21:55] InvisiblePinkUni: I did that already earlier...:)...So, now I just need to get the usage right so I can get at those directories [21:55] hi - i am trying to edit the default homepage of the ubuntu livecd. I already figured where the changes have to be done, and in the firefox about:config there is the correct page, but it is not loading on startup of firefox. But if I change the entry in about:config manually by just clicking on modify and then ok it is working fine. Does anyone an idea? [21:55] nickrud ahh.... [21:55] PurpZeY: :) ok.... [21:55] hi guys [21:55] 2 [21:55] shanks: 24=32 [21:55] shanks: windows just lies [21:55] pike_, LOLS [21:56] pike_, I see, but my app doesn't like the number 24 then =/ [21:56] does ubuntu come with kernel 2.6.21 ? [21:56] PurpZeY: just create sub directories on the remote server and put some songs into it.... and then lets check how that works out... [21:56] what do I need to download [21:56] pike_, cuz I tried it already, and it asks for a 16 or 32 color depth [21:56] shanks: try winecfg [21:56] if ya havent yet sorry im not too familiar with wine [21:57] pike_, what about it? [21:57] blackmagic: ubuntu 7.10 on my pc is running kernal 2.6.22-14-generic [21:57] InvisiblePinkUni: Actually, it so happened I had a dir w/ songs in it, that was the first folder I mounted worked perfectly. [21:57] blackmagic: what do you want exactly... [21:58] shanks: id try #winehq channel i have used wine a few times for many games and i havent had that problem [21:58] Flare183 thanks that fixed my login screen, but i still dont have the login screen manager in system > preferences any ideas [21:58] PurpZeY: ok... now add a few sub directories... and copy some songs into those ... just to test... [21:58] annonymouse: weird but oh well ok [21:58] InvisiblePinkUni: How does this syntax look: sshfs $USER@192.168.1.3:/media/New\ Volume_/My\ Music ~/Desktop/music? [21:58] pike_, cool, I'll give it a try [21:58] PurpZeY: can you drag that folder onto totem? [21:58] PurpZeY: looks good [21:59] PurpZeY: is it /media/New Volume_/My Music [21:59] i have kubuntu7.10 cant get cds or dvds to read [21:59] how can i install more fonts to ubuntu 7.10 spaciously arabic fonts? [21:59] wish id never installed kde its made a mess [21:59] InvisiblePinkUni: Yeah. I'll try the subs first and then I'll try that [21:59] does anyone here have experience with problem external harddrives? for the life of me i can't get my seagate freeagent working properly [22:00] PurpZeY: wise move... :) [22:00] disconnect [22:01] alsadk: there are lots of fonts in the repos.. search for ttf or font using synaptic [22:01] InvisiblePinkUni: Subs, no problem...on to the big fish [22:01] #Kubuntu [22:01] PurpZeY: :) [22:01] cal-mac: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=seagate+freeagent+linux&btnG=Google+Search&meta= [22:01] thx [22:02] InvisiblePinkUni: I need my sata hd to be detected [22:02] InvisiblePinkUni: EUREKA! [22:02] its a biostar mobo [22:02] PurpZeY: party time... :) [22:02] p4m900 with vt82cXXX ide ... [22:02] brobostigon: thanks, but i've gone through those pages and tried what they suggested to no avail [22:02] qualcuno sa come attivare lo spazio 3d tra una finestra è un altra? [22:02] InvisiblePinkUni: Wow. Thanks for all the help that took far longer than I expected....which isn't bad per se, b/c I was delaying cleaning to do this first. [22:02] But thanks a ton [22:03] I'm resizing a partition -- it said that it will take a while ... how long is this a while? ;) [22:03] blackmagic: is it connected to the motherboard already ? [22:03] Does anybody have any links/information regarding how to install other distros w/o overwriting grub? [22:03] InvisiblePinkUni: yes [22:03] PurpZeY: your welcome.... [22:03] the mobo is really crappy ....... [22:03] How do I remove this annoying keyring? [22:03] hehe, I just needed to complain to somebody ... it's done now ;) [22:03] blackmagic: what does ls -l /dev/hd* show? [22:04] sorry for needing to share, but just heard a great line... "Why get Micro$oft Windows when Linux gives you the whole house?" [22:04] brobostigon: i have disabled the standby feature, and i have also added an auto_restart script as suggested in another place but neither solved my problem. i suspect that it is probably related to the fact that the drive is not recognized when i plug it in to the usb port, and only shows up when i boot [22:04] Flare183: ignore me im a tool just found it [22:04] i have a problem installing nvidia drivers for my 8500gt graphics card [22:04] adelie heh, I've heard that, love it [22:05] annonymouse: good [22:05] hey i downloade yahoo messenger and it's a .deb, how do i use package installer for it [22:05] !search deb [22:05] Found: debconf, debugging, sources.list-#ubuntu-effects, ddebs, hardware, standards, distributions, webmin, chroot, installdeb [22:05] !installdeb | osx5 [22:05] osx5: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [22:05] !gdebi | osx5 [22:05] !nvidia [22:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdebi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:05] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [22:05] I installed Ubuntu Studio over the network, and when I was finished, it was just plain Ubuntu. Um... how do I get the Ubuntu Studio packages installed? (I've got them on my web server. Can I just add that as a repo?) [22:05] I'm using Azureus 3.0.4.2 on Ubuntu 7.10, and it seems that I don't actually upload with items that I have in my seed list. It'll upload to people I'm downloading from, but even if I'm only seeding, it doesn't seem to upload. I have my upload set to 32K as well [22:06] cal-mac: sudo sdparm --clear STANDBY -6 /dev/sda1 [22:06] not to people I'm downloading from, but torrents I'm downloading from [22:06] sax9: ... And all I can think is 'Raise the roof!' [22:06] call-mac: that solved it fr me [22:06] brobostigon: thanks, but i tried that :( [22:07] i have a problem installing nvidia drivers for my 8500gt graphics card [22:07] !nvidia skounis [22:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia skounis - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:07] cal-mac: i am using gutsy on a mac ppc ibook g3, and that solved the whole problem for me. [22:07] brobostigon: i don't know if it's noteworthy, but my drive is not actually recognized as sda1 when i boot, and instead shows up as sdb1.. i changed that line accordingly and when i checked the parameters after issuing that line the standby parameter had in fact been changed [22:08] cal-mac: well the drive designation will be different on different machines and systems [22:09] brobostigon: right.. i didn't think it was important. so given that changing that parameter did not fix my problem, can you suggest anything else? [22:09] can someone take a look at this alsamixer screenshot and tell me if I'm right in thinking the headphone option looks wrong? http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/429/screenshotmatthewmatthepx6.png [22:09] cal-mac: sorry no, because that solved it for me. so no, sorry [22:09] brobostigon: what type of filesystem are you using on your freeagent? [22:10] cal-mac: i have two partitions. on ntfs, the other xfs [22:10] ok, another ubuntu question... what is the ubuntu policy on installing package "recommends" dependencies ? do they get installed automatically? [22:10] cal-mac, one ntfs, other xfs [22:10] anybody hear used Xen ? [22:11] donfede: yes [22:11] brobostigon: i see. i have one ntfs partition that takes up the whole drive. interestingly, the drive does not show up as read only when it mounts on boot like other people have described, though i have not actually attempted to write to the drive. [22:11] what does GTK mean? [22:11] osx5 gimp tool kit [22:11] oh ok [22:11] osx5, GTK = Gnome Tool Kit [22:11] is it har to install themes [22:11] ? [22:11] Is there a command to tell me where a particular device is mounted? [22:11] Cpt_Qtek: gimp tool kit, gimp predates gnome [22:11] osx5 it's one style of the little "widgets" one sees in apps (menu, accept button, ...) [22:12] i have a problem installing nvidia drivers for my 8500gt graphics card. when i reboot, the screen turns black. i haven't found a fix [22:12] cal-mac: you can change its permissions, ro be read write, [22:12] brobostigon: do you think there could be some kind of module for ubuntu that i might be missing? i did a clean install of gutsy from livecd just 2 days ago [22:12] hi folks... my svn post-commit script doesnt get fired... I want to svn export to a live webserver.. when I run teh post-commit by hand it sjust fine.. some rights issuee... but what? [22:12] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Blue-Junior0.9-7?content=72003 how would I install that? [22:12] Jeah: The "mount" command will tell you what devices are mounted where. [22:12] cal-mac: i use gutsy too, and all i needed to intall was ntfsprogs, so i could edit the ntfs partition [22:13] Hey somebody have used heartbeat and ldirectord ? [22:13] stroyan: Thanks! [22:13] !autostart > nosrednaekim [22:13] brobostigon: does your drive automount when you plug it in to the usb port, or does it only mount on boot? [22:13] hi guys, can anyone tell me how to set up pgp to work with kmail? many thanks.... [22:13] cal-mac: it does both [22:14] thesaint4444: installed kgpg? [22:14] brobostigon: i see.. well i definitely think my problem is usb related somehow then, because i can access the drive immediately after boot, but it will not mount when plugged in after boot [22:14] saschahl: yes already done.... [22:14] osx5: download it to your desktop, then system->prefs->appearance, and drag the downloaded file onto the window. You can see it when you hit the custom button, and select the interface tab [22:15] is there any way to access upnp devices on the your network with ubuntu? or is there any app that can do it? [22:15] cal-mac:i agree [22:15] is there a download accelerator for linux? [22:15] I created a symlink between my encrypted partition and where I want that folder in my home directory... but it has this ugly shortcut emblem on the folder... how do you get rid of that? Changing the icon doesn't help. [22:15] hi [22:15] osx5: that is, the controls tab [22:15] I know this isn't really an ubuntu question, but do any of you know how to use icons instead of text in the open office menus? [22:15] on the menubars [22:15] brobostigon: is there a way of checking that i have the latest usb drivers? [22:16] nick it installed [22:16] but i don't see it in themes? [22:16] ZOMG!!! NEWB!! [22:16] I have a question about Epson Job Language... My printer print strange lines in print output Any help?

[22:16] icons* [22:17] cal-mac: those are terminal commands to check,to see if you have everything recognised proeprly, and all the proper drivers [22:17] anyone go any idea how to make ffmpeg work with floola? [22:17] skounis: "download accelerator" reminds me of "fraud". It seems that windows "download accelerators" claim much more than they can deliver. What features do you really value in such a program? [22:18] skounis: I have to agree.. what are you looking for.. something to make your downloads go faster? or something that makes downloading many files easier? [22:19] skounis: if it's the later.. there are some apps available [22:19] brobostigon: i don't know how to use the lsusb command properly.. when i issue it the shell hangs [22:19] brobostigon: terminal i mean [22:19] hola [22:20] !cli | cal-mac [22:20] cal-mac: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[22:22] hi, my wifi randomly stopped working when i booted up. rebooted, still nothing, but i ctrl-alt-f1'd out of usplash, and it said that it couldn't find the device. it's intel pro wireless a/g/n 4965. [22:22] Danaman5: right click on it and verify that you are the owner in properties or permissions or whatever nautilus calls it [22:23] Does it matter where you put a swap partition on your HD? ie beginning vs end? [22:23] Jeah: no but yeah if youre really picky [22:23] pike_: yes, I am the owner of the file, but the rename option does not work [22:23] brobostigon: it took a while but i got results.. on both bus 001 and 002 i have a device 001 with ID 0000:0000 and on bus 001 i also have a device that is recognizably my wireless mouse [22:23] Jeah: beginning is a good idea [22:23] pike_: Ok, thanks. [22:23] jeah: i dont think it matters [22:23] seems my options are a) run an x86 version on my amd64 or b) live w/o flash and java?

[22:24] brobostigon: Ok. I didn't figure it would make a big difference, but since I'm partitioning at the moment anyway, I figured I'd look for that "if you're really picky" type answer.

[22:25] phaedral: those two arent big deals i think in 64 bit ubuntu any more [22:25] yes [22:26] anyone have possible information on either a) getting rid of or disabling pulseaudio in potential hardy releases or b) adding jack support to pulseaudio [22:26] i have a script that changes my xorg.conf and restarts X but i dont want to have to log in every time first to run it [22:26] Nibblyn: yeah i have 9800 and kinda same prob. but i used the radeon driver compiz works fine [22:26] i actually need to add 2 scripts........one to turn composite on and one to turn it off [22:26] last thing i need to spend time on is another re-install...but java and flash are dealbreakers [22:26] Hi!

[22:29] anyone familiar with how to use compiz? [22:29] unagi: I don't see anything like that in the gdm.conf options. [22:29] aganthorp: what videocard and driver do you use?

[22:29] how do the theme makers add options like restart and such [22:29] hi guys, what do people use to encrypt their email when using kmail is the mua?

I need a second opinion. I have my home directory on /dev/sda2 and it's not encrypted. I have an encrypted partition that gets mounted to /mnt/locker. I want to create symlinks from the encrypted partition to the home folder. That is, I want a shortcut folder in my home folder called pictures, that when I click it opens the Pictures folder on /mnt/locker. Would the command be "ln -s /mnt/locker/Pictures ~/"? I'm confusing my [22:30] NVidia Geforce 6150 SE [22:30] how can I make it load one kernel module over another? [22:30] erawfish: can you tell me how to set it up with kmail? thanks.... [22:30] does anyone know if the archive.ubuntu repos are down [22:31] aganthorp: only root can symlink directories [22:31] thesaint4444: no I can't [22:31] brobostigon: the impression i got from that message is that there is something connected, but it is not recognized properly. is that incorrect? the drive is currently connected on bus 001 - the lights are on but nobody is home [22:31] ArthurArchnix: only root can symlink directories [22:31] is there any way to access upnp devices on the your network with ubuntu? or is there any app that can do it? [22:31] NVidiaerafish: Geforce 6150 SE [22:31] hammy: which drivre? [22:31] erawfish: Well, I own both directories and haven't encountered any errors. Running that as root might create some permissino problems no? [22:31] erafish: NVidia Geforce 6150 SE [22:32] erawfish: ok, thanks, so what do you use? [22:32] ArthurArchnix: only root can symlink directories. I didn't say anything about the permissions of said directories [22:32] cal-mac: that paste tell me only a logutech device is conncted via usb, and no seagate. [22:32] I am trying to edit the default homepage of the ubuntu livecd. I already figured where the changes have to be done, and in the firefox about:config there is the correct page, but it is not loading on startup of firefox. But if I change the entry in about:config manually by just clicking on modify and then ok it is working fine. Anyone an idea? [22:32] i cant upgrade to 7.10 from 7.04 because the i get cant fetch from repo archive.ubuntu is down [22:32] ubotu: that gives me an error, the composite extension is not available [22:33] aganthorp: ubotu is a bot. and you don't follow the factoid [22:33] does anyone here use pgp with kmail? if so what set up do you have... thanks.... [22:33] brobostigon: its true that the drive is not showing as mounted on my system right now, but it IS connected and is being powered by the usb port === ajmorris_|AFCLI is now known as ajmorris_ [22:33] thesaint4444: there is no pgp. there is only gpg [22:33] haha :-P erawfish:well what do you think i should do? [22:33] hey Ive tried everything and I cannot get dvds to play in ubuntu [22:34] what is the terminal command to empty the trash [22:34] can you give me that compiz link again please? [22:34] what can I do to get it working? [22:34] cal-mac: but until lsusb or dmesg show about it, linux doesn't know about -> will not do anything [22:34] erawfish: thats not really to helpfull is it.... or especially clever...

There is a "CUSTOM_CMD" mechanism in gdm.conf. http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/controlling.html.en [22:34] I downloaded the libdvdcss and my dvds still wont playback [22:34] cal-mac:it doesnt say if it mounted or not, but it cant be mon ted if its not connected, which lsusb is saying its not even connected [22:34] thank you [22:34] thesaint4444: if you don't want to google, your choice. but ther is not really any pgp (or any howtos I guess) either anymore for pgp [22:34] erawfish: Well, "ln -s /mnt/locker/Downloads ~/" creates a folder called Downloads (with an annoying shortcut symbol) in my home directory. So I'm not sure I understand what your comment means or what the implications are. [22:35] erawfish: that seems to be my problem then.. how can i tell my system that it is connected?

Having trouble to switch to Radeon. With "screens and graphics" I can select it, and test is ok, but it seems not able to save that choice. After a reboot I revert to Vesa. Will try again with Radeon. [22:36] I am running ubuntu on a flash drive and know that there is limited space (several reinstalls once too much soft is on there) anyway, there is hardly any software on here but after browsing for ages it says no space left on device. I've emptied /TMP folder. still no luck and emptied firefox cache. how can I rectify this without reinstalling? [22:36] erawfish: i dont think you have the faintest idea what you are talking about....

[22:38] keit1 Ive also downloaded the stupid codecs at synaptic [22:38] Gman99999: run... locate libdvdcss [22:38] cal-mac: unplug the drive, plug it back in, check dmesg [22:39] ty stroyan [22:39] keit1 nothing happened when I ran "locate libdvdcss" [22:39] erawfish: thanks... I found this "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg". Will try now. Should this switch to Radeon automatically?

(interesting) [22:56] lkdkdksiff: sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 <-- what you need to do to have ndiswrapper itself working [22:56] lkdkdksiff: you need your windows drivers [22:56] th0r: I want it at the current resolution, but to display properly [22:57] keit1: it can [22:57] what's the easiest way to change LVM sizes?

[22:58] what command will tell me how much disk space i have used/left etc? [22:58] keit1: boot with acpi=off to disable ACPI [22:58] jimmy__: df [22:58] df -h [22:58] scguy318: the problem is i only have wireless connection with the internet. so what i think is to download the ndiswrapper files under windows and install it then unter ubuntu. my wireless card wont be recognized by ubuntu automatically [22:58] keit1 so after Ive added the medibuntu sources what do I do next? [22:59] scguy318: what would this do and why does it boot with this by default [22:59] exegesis well that is an oddball resolution. I would have expected 1280x1024 or 1280x800. I am not sure what you meant by 'hanging off the edge' but if you mean the desktop is larger than the monitor screen then it is probably that X is trying for the standard 1280x1024 on a monitor that can only do 1280x980 [22:59] keit1: because the features that ACPI give you by default are what makes a part of a good desktop experience [22:59] keit1: booting with acpi=off just turns off ACPI [22:59] th0r: ok, how do I manually change it? [22:59] lkdkdksiff: ndiswrapper is actually on the Ubuntu CD I think [23:00] keit1 Ive just tried to load synaptic and it says unable to get a lock blah blah because another instance of synaptic is already running [23:00] lkdkdksiff: if you have that added as repo you can install that way, but you'll prob have to fetch Windows driver from Windows anyway [23:00] Gman99999: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [23:00] Gman99999: close synaptic [23:00] exegesis it should be possible to change the resolution in the gui depending on which wm you are running. I use xfce and it is in the system settings there [23:00] i just did a package update, and now flash doesn't work with nspluginwrapper on amd64, anyone have any idea? [23:00] Gman99999: are you installing in the terminal [23:00] I am now [23:00] Gman99999: can't have to apt instances running [23:00] two [23:01] scguy318: thx [23:01] th0r: not sure what you're saying about xcfe [23:01] anyone know where I can change the size of the icons on my desktop and where I can change the colors of the panel? [23:01] nope: MBR virus protection is not supported [23:01] exegesis do you use gnome or kde? [23:01] scguy318: how does acpi help toward a good desktop exprience and will this go by disabling it (sorry to be a pain!) [23:01] bjames: you simply haven't install grub [23:01] th0r: gnome [23:01] keit this si the error Ive gotten W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 [23:01] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [23:01] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[23:01] Gman99999: is Synaptic open? [23:01] scguy318: another potential solution i have found is to manually assign an irq to the usb host controller.. are there any drawbacks to this? [23:02] no synaptic is not open [23:02] Gman99999: somewhere there is an apt using program still open. close it [23:02] Gman99999: I'd say something is open [23:02] Gman99999: have you got 2 instances of apt running in one form or another? [23:02] I cant close this package installer [23:02] exegesis in the system settings someplace you should have a menu with several resolution choices. Choose one a little smaller than what you are trying for, and see if the monitor and X can handle that. It is just a first step in troubleshooting the problem. [23:02] cal-mac: I'm probably not knowledgeable enough to say definitively, but probably not [23:02] Is there anyway to add the Ubuntu server packages? [23:02] that error comes up when another root level user has a package manager [23:02] Gman99999: you are either not root when running the apt or you have another open [23:02] I can't find it on the system monitor either [23:02] erawfish: grub has always been installed by default when I've installed form live CDs before [23:02] how do you get flash working on amd64 now? [23:02] is there a way to boost my wireless card to send with 100mW [23:02] th0r: I've done that and it can handle it, but I don't like it [23:02] Gman99999: is terminal open? [23:02] bjames: this time it hasn*'t [23:02] Gman99999: system -> Administration -> sys mon [23:02] scguy318: if i manually assign one irq, will i need to manually assign them all? [23:02] th0r: the thing is I didn't change anything, but when I got back it was messed up [23:02] I tried installing a package today and it froze and it wont unfreeze Ive been having lots of crashes with ubuntu lately [23:03] Everything is closed [23:03] !flash > hacim [23:03] cal-mac: I don't believe so [23:03] Gman99999: sudo fuser /var/lib/dpkg/lock [23:03] cal-mac: though don't quote me on that [23:03] th0r: and the 1280x960 is one of the default options on my Screen Resolution Preferences [23:03] Gman99999: ^^ [23:03] scguy318: alright thanks.. will let you know [23:03] soldats: tyeah I did the work around, but now it doesn't work again [23:03] Gman99999: and if something froze its program (aka apt) is still running [23:04] Gman99999: erawfish knows the score [23:04] Hey guys.... just to say that I was in here the other day - I spent over 8 hours (in total) on a resolution issue on a gutsy upgrade. I know th0r helped me out a bit, and a few others - just came by to say thanks for the help and to offer the solution I found... [23:04] erawfish ok so how do I close the program if it wont close even when i click it to close? [23:04] amorphous_: well, shoot [23:04] hacim, i have no clue then, im not too sure about the amd 64 flash. it should work the same. maybe the install was bad [23:04] Gman99999: man kill [23:04] hacim: nspluginwrapper is what you need [23:05] erawfish I typed in the thing you told me to and I got this /var/lib/dpkg/lock: 7154 [23:05] Anyone know how to just use iptables to port forward things on the same nic card? (not from external to internal) but rather just from nic eth0 to another ip address eth0 can reach? [23:05] if your having resolution problems after a gutsy upgrade - try to HARDBOOT YOUR MONITOR. [23:05] Gman99999: ps aux |grep 7153 [23:05] erawfish how do I do mankill? [23:05] Gman99999: ps aux |grep 7154 [23:05] man kill [23:05] Okay, is there some program out there that mimics the microsoft viso application or can you get microsoft viso to work in linux? [23:05] at the end of over 8 hours - that was the answer [23:05] scguy318: yeah I am using that, it was working, but then I updated some packages and now it doesn't work [23:05] How can i execute a .run program (The ET: Quake wars client)?

I deleted the desktop folder in my home directory, because I wanted to create a symlink to a seperate mounted partition. Now whenever I add anything to my home folder it immediately shows up on my desktop, regardless of whether or not my separate partition is mounted.

What is the cleanest way to do that? [23:45] i need some help, my audio inputs are messed up. My microphone comes in extremely distorted and crackley and my line-in won't pick up any sound at all, and I have messed around with alsamixer for an hour [23:45] ader10: Which KDE? [23:45] Jack_Sparrow: I have options? wohoo! [23:45] Jack_Sparrow: whatever kubuntu_desktop has [23:46] Hi all [23:46] ader10: Kubuntu-desktop ..includes kde, kde from official repos.. and kde4 beta [23:46] tushyd: my onboard audio did that.. once i put in a sound card and turned off onboard audio all was good [23:46] I need to add my linksys wpc54g wireless card to my ubuntu system (because the atheros wireless just won't work) [23:46] how do you kill a process that doesnt show up anywhere? [23:46] ader10: If you want to be fully sure of getting everything back to normal.. make a quick tar backup.. one line in cli is all it takes [23:46] what's the easiest method? Download ndiswrapper? [23:46] Jack_Sparrow: Ok, well what is the cleanest way to install kde (and all its apps) and remove it afterward (along with all its apps) [23:46] Gman99999: you have a process that isn't showing up anywhere? [23:47] Gman99999, how do you know it's running? [23:47] Gman99999, how can it not show up? [23:47] that caught everyone's attention =) [23:47] iclebyte: meh, rootkits do that pretty often [23:47] ablyss, that's understandable but I would at least like to be able to skype with someone without having to use a different sound card [23:47] Gman99999: how did you find this process? [23:47] ablyss, it's a new computer, has two mics and one line in but can't get it to work [23:47] Gman99999: if you know the process name you can find it using ps -A | grep [23:47] well Im trying to close mplayer and it wont close [23:47] ader10: Two people today tried to remove kubuntu-desktop and it didnt pull everything. I dont know why.. I do know if you make a backup, you are covered... [23:47] it doesnt show up anywhere on any process list [23:47] ShortWave, fair comment... [23:48] Gman99999, use xkill [23:48] Gman99999: try ps -ax [23:48] Jack_Sparrow: What's the line of code to do a complete backup? [23:48] Jack_Sparrow: I thought removing metapackages didn't touch the dependencies, or something [23:48] kubuntu-desktop is a meta-package - i wouldent thin removeing it would remove anything.. [23:48] Gman99999: tho having a WINDOW get stuck in X isn't quite the same as a process that's hung [23:48] jack_sparrow: disk /dev/sbd: 80.0 gb, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders units=cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes disk identifier: 0xc88bc88b [23:48] scguy318: supposedly in aptitude it does remove unused dependencies [23:48] I'm using the partitioner in the Ubuntu installer and resized a partiiton down. Now the part that I removed from it is showing up as unusable instead of free space. Does anyone know what happened/how to fix it? [23:48] tushyd: mine is new too, thought it was my speakers and dealt with the bad audio until i one day just decided to try my old creative sound card.. works great [23:49] I think ifyou installed it with aptitude - and then try to remove it with aptitude.. it might remove all the related files. [23:49] scguy318: There is a way to pull the dependencies after removing the packages.. but to keep it simple... and safe, I suggested a backup [23:49] !backup [23:49] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [23:49] of course 'unused' is alo a very imporntant thing. [23:49] works :D [23:49] Dr_willis: Agreed... it is better at pulling the dependencies etc.... [23:50] that's a good idea, ablyss, but i really would like to get the internal stuff working [23:50] thats what i get when i run sudo fdisk -l [23:50] my favorite way to back up is to make a directory called backups and symlink import stuff to it.. then use k3b which is very intuitive when burning symlinks [23:50] fixed it [23:50] at least as far as the drive i cant seem to find ne where else is concerned [23:50] Hey people I solved my boot prob [23:51] lukasz: woot [23:51] root hd0,1 [23:51] mahout: do ou not get sda? [23:51] If you dont uninstall kde you can still choose yur session right? [23:51] WHY DOES UBUNTU SUCK SO MUCH, AND NOT EVEN RUN THE NATIVE GAMES??? [23:51] I have it on external hdd and grub as well [23:51] hello [23:51] mahout: Are you mixing ide and sata? [23:51] hello [23:51] jack: that comes up on my first drive the 40gb it boots from [23:51] guys.. just installed xubuntu on an old laptop.. everything works fine for me except the graphics.. it has a neomagic video card. Seems the installation picked up on this and seemingly installed the driver.. but I cannot "modprobe neomagic" since that module doesn't exist. Any ideas? Shouldn't it exist? xorg.conf has it as a loadable module. [23:51] the xkill worked thanks [23:51] Superbike32, demand a refund. [23:51] jack: i dont believe so [23:51] nquake works like magic now fast with ati [23:51] if i payed shit, i would [23:52] superbike: ubuntu uses opensource games so does everyother linux distribuition.. they are native.. to linux [23:52] has anyone ever set up a macbook pro to run ubuntu before in the chatroom [23:52] is there any application or something to auto-mute the speakers when connecting the headphones?

Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [23:53] It works fine [23:53] tushyd: well it's probably a driver issue, and as you probably know, onboard anything can be a headache just for the inability to update/fix it [23:53] Canadain traffic [23:53] is way to slow [23:53] I'm using the partitioner in the Ubuntu installer and resized a partiiton down.
